British Theatre and the Great War examines how theatre in its
various forms adapted itself to the new conditions of 1914-1918.
Contributors discuss the roles played by the theatre industry. They
draw on a range of source materials to show the different kinds of
theatrical provision and performance cultures in operation not only
in London but across parts of Britain and also in Australia and at
the Front. As well as recovering lost works and highlighting new
areas for investigation (regional theatre, prison camp theatre,
troop entertainment, the threat from film, suburban theatre) the
book offers revisionist analysis of how the conflict and its
challenges were represented on stage at the time and the
controversies it provoked. The volume offers new models for
exploring the topic in an accessible, jargon-free way, and it shows
how theatrical entertainment of the time can be seen as the
`missing link' in the study of First World War writing.
