Description
A Good Night Out: Popular Theatre - Audience, Class and Form by John McGrath In this influential work, John McGrath argues that theatre has the power to engage with the wider population, rather than remaining exclusive to the privileged few. First published in 1981, his manifesto remains a vital call to action for those seeking to create more inclusive and accessible performances. McGrath's central question is how different social classes take their entertainment, and what this reveals about the role of theatre in society. He makes a compelling case for a more democratic approach to theatre, one that prioritises the needs and experiences of ordinary people over the interests of the elite. This book remains an essential read for anyone interested in the future of popular theatre. First published in 1981, A Good Night Out has been revised and updated for its second edition in 1996.
