British theatre is booming. But where do these beautiful buildings
and exciting plays come from? And when did the story start? To find
out we time travel back to the age of the first Queen Elizabeth in
the 16th century, four hundred years ago when there was not a
single theatre in the land. In the company of a series of
well-characterized fictional guides, the eight chapters of the book
explore how British theatre began, grew up and developed from the
1550s to the 1950s. The Time-Traveller's Guide to British Theatre
tells the story of the movers and shakers, the buildings, the
playwrights, the plays and the audiences that make British theatre
what it is today. It covers all the great names - from Shakespeare
to Terence Rattigan, by way of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw
- and the classic plays, many of which are still revived today,
visits the venues and tells their dramatic stories. It is an
accessible, journalistic account of this subject which, while based
firmly on extensive research and historical accuracy, describes
five centuries of British creativity in an interesting and relevant
way. It is celebratory in tone, journalistic in style and accurate
in content.
