First published in 1985, this book examines how workers theatre
movements intended their performances to be activist - perceiving
art as a weapon of struggle and enlightenment - and an emancipatory
act. An introductory study relates left-wing theatre groupings to
the cultural narratives of contemporary British socialism. The
progress of the Workers' Theatre Movement (1928-1935) is traced
from simple realism to the most brilliant phase of its Russian and
German development alongside which the parallel movements in the
United States are also examined. A number of crucial texts are
reprints as well as stage notes and glimpses of the dramaturgical
controversies which accompanied them.
