    Book description

    In this book, Claire Cochrane maps the experience of theatre across the British Isles during the twentieth century through the social and economic factors which shaped it. Three topographies for 1900, 1950 and 2000 survey the complex plurality of theatre within the nation-state which at the beginning of the century was at the hub of world-wide imperial interests and after one hundred years had seen unprecedented demographic, economic and industrial change. Cochrane analyses the dominance of London theatre, but redresses the balance in favour of the hitherto marginalised majority experience in the English regions and the other component nations of the British political construct. Developments arising from demographic change are outlined, especially those relating to the rapid expansion of migrant communities representing multiple ethnicities. Presenting fresh historiographic perspectives on twentieth-century British theatre, the book breaks down the traditionally accepted binary oppositions between different sectors, showing a broader spectrum of theatre practice.

    Reviews

    ‘Fascinating …’

    Michael Quinn Source: The Stage

    'It is a mark of this study's very substantial achievement that it opens up many areas for further study and it will be an important guide to the territory for years to come … it is a significant contribution to theatre history and theatre historiography.'

    Trevor R. Griffiths Source: Theatre Notebook

    ‘Twentieth-Century British Theatre offers a goldmine of data on the social, economic and political traits of British theatre … This book offers a necessary foundation for all future studies of twentieth-century British theatre.’

    Thomas Postlewait Source: Theatre Survey

    ‘… [an] impressive study of theatrical organisation in the British Isles … The idea of a cultural totality made up of overlapping spheres is crucial to Cochrane’s account and she replaces a model based on binaries (commercial versus non-commercial) with one based on topographical interlocking circles of influence …’

    John Stokes Source: The Times Literary Supplement

    ‘This ambitious volume attempts the challenging task of presenting the reader with an account of the past century of theatre industry and practice. Its epic style provides a narrative account of the structural history of theatre makers in the UK … [It] offers the reader a meticulously researched and lovingly compiled account of theatre over a century.’

    Catherine Rees Source: New Theatre Quarterly

    'We should cherish books such as Cochrane's which scrupulously sift through vast and varied sources, explore incisive research questions, develop critical standpoints to already existing work, and seek to contribute intellectually, and with originality, to their field. This broad-reaching history demonstrates adroitly that there is no getting away from Empire, no matter how hard its apologists try - just as there is no substitute for rigour and sustained intellectual reflection which advances knowledge in one’s research field … a rich resource for postgraduates and academics.'

    Deirdre Osborne Source: Contemporary Theatre Review

    'Cochrane's book will occupy a crucial space in the study of modern theatre history in the UK. By focusing on the twentieth century through both macro- and micro-frames, she successfully provides detailed, richly textured portraits of British theatre as both an industrial and artistic concern, while exploding the myth that everything of consequence in British theatre happened exclusively in London.'
