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.
