ABSTRACT
In this chapter I present an overview of Pakistani anglophone drama. While playwrights from the South Asian diaspora have generated scholarly interest, here I exclusively discuss the theatre of the Pakistani diaspora in North America and the UK. My argument is that characters in Pakistani-American and Pakistani-British plays resist community and societal constraints by remaking the self to creative or destructive ends. The reconfiguration of Muslim identities in this understudied body of work assumes particular importance in a post-9/11, post-7/7 world.
