Description

Peter Gill's Apprenticeship offers a unique perspective on the changing theatrical landscape of the 1960s. This personal account combines history and memoir to provide insight into the development of British theatre during this period. The book includes a diary entry from 1962, which vividly recalls Gill's experiences as a young actor in Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle. A penetrating analysis of twentieth-century drama is also presented, marking the beginning of Gill's growth into a prominent playwright and director. This account is both witty and evocative, providing a valuable context for understanding the key figures and themes of early 20th-century drama.
