Description

An Illustrated History of British Theatre and Performance chronicles the history and development of theatre from the Roman era to the present day. As the most public of arts, theatre constantly interacted with changing social, political, and intellectual movements and ideas, and Robert Leach’s masterful work restores to the foreground of this evolution the contributions of women, gay people, and ethnic minorities, as well as the regional theatres of Wales and Scotland. Highly-illustrated chapters trace the development of theatre through major plays from each period; evaluations of playwrights; contemporary dramatic theory; acting and acting companies; dance and music; the theatre buildings themselves; and the audience, while also highlighting enduring features of British theatre, from comic gags to the use of props.   About the Author Robert Leach has been schoolteacher, journalist, political activist, teacher of acting, freelance theatre director, and academic. Not only has he taught at Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Cumbria Universities, he has also acted professionally in Britain and USA, directed plays in Russia and Britain, and has published five volumes of poetry.
