Description

Explore a new perspective on theatrical history with 1956 and All That: The Making of Modern British Drama. Published by Routledge, this book challenges the long-held belief that British theatre was stagnant before the arrival of John Osborne's Look Back in Anger in 1956. Author Dan Rebellato examines the era of Terence Rattigan and 'Binkie' Beaumont to ask if the theatre was truly as repressed as historians often claim. This work moves beyond the standard narratives of the 'Angry Young Men' to uncover a complex story tied to Britain's declining Empire and the social shifts of the time. Ideal for students, historians, and theatre enthusiasts, this text provides a bold investigation into the real forces that shaped modern British drama. It offers a fresh look at the cultural landscape of the mid-20th century, providing a different understanding of how the stage evolved during a period of significant national change.
