Granville Barker on Theatre brings together some of the most
important critical theatrical writings of Harley Granville Barker,
a major figure of 20th-century British theatre. Known as a pioneer
of the National Theatre and Repertory Movement, and remembered
mainly for his Prefaces to Shakespeare, from the 1900s to his death
in the 1940s Granville Barker commented enthusiastically in
newspaper items, introductions to plays, articles, essays,
articles, and published lectures on a range of topics: the nature
of theatre as an art form and as a social medium, the need for
ensemble playing in a repertory system, the relationship between
the three chief constituents of theatre - the actor, the playwright
and the audience. Granville Barker on Theatre makes available again
these writings in which Barker dissects the state of theatre as he
saw it, with coruscating critiques of the commercial system, the
long run and censorship, the vitality of theatre outside Britain,
and what he saw as the welcome renaissance of theatre in
non-professional groups liberated from the profit motive. These
writings show a master practitioner concerned with, above all,
promoting a new type of drama; vital not only for its own sake but
for the sake of the health of society at large.
