Abstract

This paper analyzes important discourse from the performers and the director of a Shakespearean play. The play was performed by a collection of Afghan actors and actresses in a huge international festival in London. There are many sociopolitical, psychoeconomical, and cultural discourses associated with the play. These are analysed within the paper. First, as far as I am concerned, discourse is the text, idea, literature, or a language form to reflect message/s. The second concept is analysis, which is not judgment in reality rather is the differentiation of phenomena within a language form. It could come by various forms. For example, Fairclough (1992) describes three sorts of analysis: the analysis of discourse practices, the analysis of text, and the analysis of social practices. This paper integrates with textual discourse analysis since the text has been transcribed from the video; however, since there are some social concordances appear within the text and the video, it could the mixture of all three types of analysis.
