This is an updated account and comparison of all the major
traditions and tendencies in the French theatre from the outbreak
of the Second World War to the opening of the 1990s. In the
fifty-year period covered by this book, French theatre has
undergone profound changes, at both the institutional and artistic
level. In this book David Bradby assesses these developments in
styles of writing, criticism, acting, directing and stage design.
Bradby does not confine his account to events in Paris but also
considers the work of the Centres Dramatiques and Maisons de la
Culture. While giving due attention to the work of well-known
playwrights such as Beckett, Ionesco, Adamov and Genet among
others, Bradby also shows that the period has been a rich one for
experimentation in French theatre. The book also contains an
introductory survey of the French theatre of the inter-war years
and concludes with a bibliography and an historical table of
productions. It is illustrated with black and white photographs and
is intended for students of drama as well as French literature; the
political and cultural background is explained and all quotations
are in English.
