About this book

This book explores an under-researched body of work from the early decades of the twentieth century, connecting plays, performances and practitioners together in dynamic dialogues. Moving across national, generational and social borders, the book reads experiments in Britain during this period alongside theatrical innovations overseas.

Reviews

'...a useful intervention into both British theatre histories and those of the (predominantly European) avant garde... a must-read.' - Maggie B. Gale, NTQ
