Post-War British Theatre Criticism (Routledge Revivals)

<p>This book first published in 1981 sets out the critical reaction to some fifty key post-war productions of the British theatre as gauged primarily through the contemporary reviews of theatre critics. The plays chosen are each in their different ways important in their contribution to the development of the British theatre covering the period from immediately after the Second World War when British theatre fell into decline through the revival of the late 1950s to the time in which this book was first published in which British theatre enjoyed a high international reputation for its diversity and quality. </p><p>This book is ideal for theatre studies students as well as for the general theatre-goer. </p>
