Description
A comprehensive survey of British playwriting in the 1970s, this book examines the work of four major playwrights whose influence remains undiminished today. Chris Megson's authoritative reassessment provides new perspectives on the decade's theatrical activity and its legacy. The volume equips readers with an understanding of the context from which work emerged, a detailed overview of the range of theatrical activity, and close study of the work of Caryl Churchill, David Hare, Howard Brenton, and David Edgar. Interviews with the playwrights, directors, and actors offer invaluable insights into their creative processes. By revisiting the decade from the perspective of the twenty-first century, Megson provides a stimulating analysis of British playwriting in the 1970s, shedding new light on the period's most significant theatrical voices.
