SofCover. Condition: Good. Feliks Topolski (illustrator). 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Richmond Adult College stamp to edge and inside cover. Slight wear to top edge and spine of cover. Couple of slight creases to cover. This book sets out the critical reaction to some fifty key post-war productions of the British theatre, as gauged primarily through the contemporary reviews of theatre critics. The plays chosen are each, in their diferent ways, important in their contribution to the development of the British theatre, covering the period from immediately after the Second World War, when British theatre fell into decline, through the revival of the late 1950s, to the present day in which British theatre enjoys a high international reputation for its divserity and quality. In this selection, the author is not aiming simply to select the 'best' of theatre criticism, nor the 'worst'. He allows the reader to be the critic of the critics. His selection, however, reveals the widespread changes of response to plays and productions, and thus indicates the evolution of taste over the past thirty years. For the general theatre-goer, this selection will evoke the great occasions in post-war British theatre. For the theatre student, this book will provide a valuable source-book for contemporary reactions. Illustrations. 270 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
