Bringing Down the House: The Crisis in Britain's Regional Theatres

Olivia Turnbull, "Bringing Down the House: The Crisis in Britain's Regional Theatres"

Intellect Ltd | 2009-01-15 | ISBN: 1841502081 | 192 pages | PDF | 2 MB

Between 1979 and 1997, a quarter of Britain’s regional theaters closed their doors forever. Those that survived found themselves constantly on the brink, forced to radically reduce their programs and shut down for extended periods. Bringing Down the House examines how and why this crisis occurred, from the British government’s scant regard for the arts after World War II to the onset of Thatcherism and its long-lasting effects on the theater industry. This timely read for theater and cultural history scholars unearths a catalog of recurring problems that ensured the fragility of the British regional stage.
