Description

Discover the definitive history of one of the world's most famous stages. The National Theatre Story, winner of the STR Theatre Book Prize 2014, provides a deep look into the artistic, financial, and political battles that shaped the institution. From its 19th-century origins and the early 1900s through to its official inauguration in 1963, this book tracks the evolution of British drama. Readers will follow the era at the Old Vic, where Laurence Olivier served as the inspirational Director of the NT Company for ten years. The narrative continues through the leadership of Peter Hall and the historic 1976 move to the National's concrete home on the South Bank. With a history of staging more than 800 productions, the National Theatre has a legacy of both onstage triumphs and occasional disasters. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in performing arts history and the leaders who built this legendary institution.
