Description

Explore the transformative era of British theatre with this comprehensive study of the New Wave movement that reshaped post-war drama. British Realist Theatre provides essential historical and cultural context for understanding the influential playwrights and directors who defined the late 1950s and 1960s, including Edward Bond, John Osborne, Shelagh Delaney, and Harold Pinter. Drawing on contemporary sources and the plays themselves, this accessible introduction examines the influences, impact, and critical reception of works that challenged theatrical conventions and reflected the social upheaval of their time. Stephen Lacey's analysis offers readers insight into how these dramatists shaped modern British theatre and continues to resonate with scholars, theatre practitioners, and students exploring this dynamic period in dramatic history.

Key Features

British Realist Theatre covers the pivotal New Wave movement spanning 1956 to 1965, a defining moment in post-war theatrical innovation and social commentary.

The book examines major playwrights including Edward Bond, John Osborne, Shelagh Delaney, and Harold Pinter, analysing their contributions to realist drama.

Author Stephen Lacey integrates contemporary sources with the plays themselves to provide both historical context and critical analysis of the era's theatrical significance.

This Routledge publication offers an accessible yet rigorous introduction suitable for theatre students, academics, and anyone interested in modern British drama history.
