Join theatre critic Michael Coveney and guests to discuss the vital story of the major amateur theatre companies and venues that developed over the 20th century in Britain.

On the day of his new book Questors, Jesters and Renegades: The story of Britain’s Amateur Theatre being pubished, Coveney will recount some of the anecdotes and previously unheard stories that show amateur theatre is not just something that serves as a popular pastime: it has been an instrumental part in the development of twenty and twenty-first century professional theatre, and a fascinating barometer and product of the times in which we live.
