Part of the Exeter Performance Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Winner of the Society for Theatre Research Book Prize - 2016 This is the final volume in a new paperback edition of Steve Nicholson's definitive four-volume survey of British theatre censorship from 1900-1968, based on previously undocumented material, covering the period 1960-1968.
This brings to its conclusion the first comprehensive research on the Lord Chamberlain's Correspondence Archives for the 20th century.
The 1960s was a significant decade in social and political spheres in Britain, especially in the theatre.
As certainties shifted and social divisions widened, a new generation of theatre makers arrived, ready to sweep away yesterday's conventions and challenge the establishment.
Analysis exposes the political and cultural implications of a powerful elite exerting pressure in an attempt to preserve the veneer of a polite, unquestioning society. This new edition includes a contextualising timeline for those readers who are unfamiliar with the period, and a new preface.
