About The Book
Combining authoritative writing with superb illustration, The Cambridge Illustrated History of British Theatre is a fascinating exploration of the development of the live performing arts. Taking a broad view of theatre, the book covers everything from the minor and ‘illegitimate’ to the mainstream and ‘official’ — whether the mystery plays of the Middle Ages or the ‘real time drama’ of Coronation Street, the courtly theatre of Shakespeare’s day or the ‘fringe’ of the 1990s. Theatre is considered throughout as the popular expression of its creators’ and audiences’ values and concerns. The contributions of players, patrons, playwrights, and audiences are vividly recounted, together with the social and political forces which inevitably influenced them. Ranging from theatre in the metropolis to theatre in the provinces, the book also examines the influences on theatre from abroad and the impact of British theatre on the cultural scene beyond its own frontiers.
