Since women very rarely worked as authors and directors, but mostly as actresses, a gender-specific division of tasks in the Ethiopian theatre business can be established. Exceptions to this are the careers of playwright Sennedu Gebru in the 1930s and directors Jemanish Solomon, Manbere Tadess, and Azeb Worku since the 1990s.
p 169, first 2 paragraphs of "Abweichungen von der Norm" (Deviations from the Norm):
"In addition, there are always staging approaches that are characterized by their themes. Character drawing[a] and aesthetics deviate from the dominant norm "But that happens so rarely once in a blue moon, I can say." Nevertheless, it is important to make these artistic attempts at intervention visible. Some artists are trying to impose new thematic emphases and aesthetic innovations in standardised spoken theatre. These include the directors Widinek Kifile, Getnet Eneyew, Ayalneh Mulat, Manyazwal Endeshaw and Azeb Worku, some of whom work as freelancers and some of whom are employed at the State Theatre. They all stage their productions at the state theatres."
"Abate Mekuria specialized in depictions of crowd scenes and in the negotiation of socially taboo topics such as domestic violence or the effects of chat consumption.[b] The musical "Ye Listros Opera" (Shoe Shine Opera), developed by Mekuria's Theatre Ensemble in 1990, which deals with poverty and social inequality, was the first play in decades to integrate dance and music into the performance. It has been performed at the Windybrow Festival in Johannesburg and at the Peter-Brook Theatre in Paris."
p 172, 4th paragraph beginning "Die Regisseurin...":
"The director Azeb Worku, who initially worked as an actress, adapted the French film comedy by François Ozon in 2006 under the title "Yesimintu Setotch" ("Eight Women"). It was the first theatre production in Ethiopia in which only women were involved. Due to its great success, the comedy was performed at the National Theatre for a year and then shown as a tour across the country. [c] In 2009, Azeb Worku addressed life concepts of the Ethiopian diaspora living in the USA in the play "Diaspora", in which she worked with video projection on stage."
