Description

Explore the cultural history of British amateur theatre during the inter-war period with this study from Bloomsbury. This book examines the belief held in theatrical and educational circles that amateur drama served a purpose beyond simple recreation. Between the wars, amateur theatre reached its peak popularity as a cultural practice. By 1939, more British people had practical experience in producing plays than at any other time in history. This work provides an original account of how drama was used in adult education projects within deprived areas and in government-funded centres. It offers a deep look into the social impact and widespread reach of performing arts in Britain from 1919 to 1949.
