Description

The National Theatre Story: 1 is a comprehensive historical account that traces the National Theatre's journey from its 19th-century origins through to its establishment on the South Bank. Winner of the STR Theatre Book Prize 2014, this definitive work explores the artistic, financial and political battles that shaped the institution, including the pivotal leadership of Laurence Olivier at the Old Vic and Peter Hall's direction during the theatre's relocation in 1976. The book chronicles the NT's evolution through early false starts in the 1900s to its hard-fought inauguration in 1963, capturing over 800 staged productions and the triumphs and occasional disasters that defined the company's legacy. This used book in good condition offers theatre enthusiasts and performing arts scholars an authoritative insight into one of Britain's most influential cultural institutions.
