Since the Second World War, we have witnessed exciting, often
confusing developments in the British theatre. This book, first
published in 1976, presents an enlightening, objective history of
the many facets of post-war British theatre and a fresh
interpretation of theatre itself. The remarkable and profound
changes which have taken place during this period range from the
style and content of plays, through methods of acting, to shapes of
theatres and the organisational habits of managers. Two national
theatres have been brought almost simultaneously into existence;
while at the other end of the financial scale, the fringe and pub
theatres have kicked their way into vigorous life. The theatre in
Britain has been one of the post-war success stories, to judge by
its international renown and its mixture of experimental vitality
and polished experience. In this book Elsom presents an approach to
the problems of criticism and appreciation which range beyond those
of literary analysis.
