Joan Littlewood was one of the most visionary and influential
theatre directors of the twentieth century. Drawing on extensive
archival research and detailed performance histories, and paying
close attention to wider political and cultural forces, this
innovative study presents a fresh examination of Littlewood's
treatment of the politics of war, Renaissance plays, marginalised
communities and popular culture in productions such as Oh What a
Lovely War, A Taste of Honey and Richard II. The book breaks new
ground with a sustained examination of Littlewood's paratheatrical
activity that centred on her ambitious plans for the Fun Palace, a
multifaceted cultural centre, and her numerous playground projects
for young people. Alert to critical thinking on ethics,
citizenship, cultural politics, class and space, Joan Littlewood's
Theatre will deepen and extend knowledge and understanding of the
innovative theatrical, cultural and community-based practices
generated by Littlewood throughout her career.
