Description

First published in 1986, this comprehensive guide explores the major aspects of contemporary British theatre during a transformative period when the nation led the world in theatrical innovation. The post-war years witnessed a remarkable surge in creative energy, with groundbreaking playwrights including John Osborne, Arnold Wesker, Samuel Beckett, Tom Stoppard and Harold Pinter redefining the theatrical landscape through experimental and diverse approaches. Directors emerged as theatrical entrepreneurs, whilst the new medium of television opened additional opportunities for writers such as Dennis Potter to expand their artistic reach. This Routledge Revivals edition preserves this essential examination of theatre history, capturing a pivotal era that shaped modern British drama and influenced international theatrical practice.
