Revolutionary Theatre is the first full-length study of the dynamic
theatre created in Russia in the aftermath of the Bolshevik
Revolution. Fired by social and political as well as artistic zeal,
a group of directors, playwrights, actors and organisers collected
around the charismatic Vsevolod Meyerhold. Their aim was to achieve
in the theatre what Lenin and his comrades had achieved in
politics: the complete overthrow of the status quo and the
installation of a radically new regime.
Until now the efforts and influence of this idealistic group of
theatrical avant-gardists have been largely unacknowledged; the
oppressive reign of Stalin condemned many of them to death and
their work to oblivion. In this enlightening work Robert Leach
uncovers in fascinating detail their roots, their achievements and
their legacy.
