"British Theatre in the Great War deals with a theatrical phase customarily dismissed by those charting twentieth-century developments. What becomes clear is that assessment by unsuitable literary criteria has masked the importance of the war years in British theatrical history. In avoiding a texts bias, this book reveals an era of unsurpassed prosperity, in which the stage's substantial contribution to the war effort was only one notable feature. That the period also saw the commercial theatre's absorption of continental avant-gardeism by way of revue, the last great epoch of music hall, the rise of the Old Vic with a project in opera and Shakespeare of which we are still the beneficiaries, and the unprecedented popularity of opera everywhere (this was surely the most fruitful period of Thomas Beecham's theatrical career) is compelling argument for revaluation."--BOOK JACKET.
