About this product
Product Information
British theatre is booming. But where do these beautiful buildings and exciting plays come from? And when did the story start? To find out we time travel back to the age of the first Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century, four hundred years ago when there was not a single theatre in the land. In the company of a series of well-characterized fictional guides, the eight chapters of the book explore how British theatre began, grew up and developed from the 1550s to the 1950s. The Time-Traveller's Guide to British Theatre tells the story of the movers and shakers, the buildings, the playwrights, the plays and the audiences that make British theatre what it is today. It covers all the great names - from Shakespeare to Terence Rattigan, by way of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw - and the classic plays, many of which are still revived today, visits the venues and tells their dramatic stories. It is an accessible, journalistic account of this subject which, while based firmly on extensive research and historical accuracy, describes five centuries of British creativity in an interesting and relevant way. It is celebratory in tone, journalistic in style and accurate in content.

Reviews
It combines the latest insights of today with the story of yesterday. It reads like a fast-moving ride on a theatre-go-round -- only much more informative. The gossip is fun, too., An immensely entertaining, informative guide to 400 years of British theatre that wears its considerable learning lightly., From Elizabethan penny stinkards to iffy, unstoppable Binkie Beaumont, here is a spry, vivid overview of that throbbing and wondrous organism, British theatre., "I am bowled over by The Time Traveller's Guide to British Theatre ... I've read many histories of theatre in my time, some very dry and academic and others rather more basic and banal for young readers or people still in the foothills of the Everest of theatre history. But never before have I chortled and marvelled my way through anything quite so informative and entertaining - and for the authors to have done both with such aplomb is quite an achievement..." -- The Stage "From Elizabethan penny stinkards to iffy, unstoppable Binkie Beaumont, here is a spry, vivid overview of that throbbing and wondrous organism, British theatre." -- Daily Mail "An immensely entertaining, informative guide to 400 years of British theatre that wears its considerable learning lightly." -- Michael Billington, Guardian, I am bowled over by The Time Traveller's Guide to British Theatre ...
