Description

Explore the history of mid-twentieth-century British theatre with Cecil Davies' The Adelphi Players: The Theatre of Persons. Part of the Routledge Studies in Critical Realism series, this book offers a detailed look at touring theatre in the post-war period. By examining the values and aims of the Adelphi Players, readers can see how this group pre-empted many developments seen in later non-commercial, fringe, and community theatre movements. The text provides a deep look into the work of Richard Heron Ward, the founder of the Adelphi Players, and his impact on the industry. This volume is an essential resource for anyone interested in the recent history of British performing arts. Whether you are a student, an academic researcher, or a general reader looking to expand your knowledge of stagecraft and theatrical history, this book provides a unique perspective on a significant era of British culture.
