- Synopsis
- A revised and updated version of Modern British Drama, 1890–1990, now covering the whole twentieth century, this is the first one-volume analysis of English play writing to cover the most exciting and productive period in British Theatre from its inception to today. Through detailed discussions of major dramatists and plays, Innes traces the evolution of modernism from Bernard Shaw to Patrick Marber and Sarah Kane, and theatrical developments over the whole century. Information is included on the social and political environment surrounding the plays, first productions, and critical reception, plus chronology, illustrations from key performances, lists of playwrights and works, and selective bibliographies. The book is an invaluable guide for students, theatre-goers and theatre historians.
