Synopsis:

Michael Billington examines the constant interplay between theatre and society from the resurgent optimism of the Attlee years to the satire boom of the sixties and the growth of political theatre under Tony Blair in the post-Iraq period.
The book also offers detailed evaluations of writers from Priestley and Rattigan to Bennett and Hare. 

 

Controversial, witty and informed.

Our staff suggestion: Michael Billington is not only a great Theatre Critic, he is also an amazingly human observer of the social changes and of how theatre mirrors, guides and criticizes the state of the world.
