The Royal Court Theatre is one of the primary forums in the
development of post-war drama. Under the title of the English Stage
Company the theatre's house actors and dramatists commissioned and
produced some of the most influential plays in modern theatre
history, including the works of Brenton, Churchill, Bond and
Osborne. The story of the Royal Court is also the history of the
contemporary stage. In this absorbing account of the theatre's
history from 1956 to 1998, Philip Roberts draws on previously
unpublished archives in both public and private collections and a
series of interviews with people prominent in the Court's life. The
book also includes a Foreword by the former Director of the Royal
Court, Max Stafford-Clark. The result is an intimate account of the
working of the foremost house of modern drama and its relationships
to the world of the theatre in Britain and abroad.
