The terms [[English theatre]] and [[English drama]] have two distinct meaning in South Africa.

(Also found written as [[English Theatre]] or [[English Drama]])

In the first place, following international practice, [[English theatre]] or [[English drama]] can be used to refer to all theatre written and produced in English, and more specifically in England and its dominions, over the years.

However, in a multilingual society such as South Africa, [[English theatre]] or [[English drama]] can also be a more specific term, referring to a local theatrical sub-system in which theatrical work and performances are created and staged ''in the [[English]] language (or a regional variant of it)'' by South Africans. Depending on the focus, this may include [[English]] language translations of texts from other languages when speaking of performances.
