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. This book is ideal for
theatre studies students, as well as for the general theatre-goer.
