Description
Summary:[...]though she considers the organization and industry of London theatre, much of her study focuses on the "regional landscape" (243) of theatre and audiences in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland during the twentieth century. [...]both her spatial and temporal categories offer multiple topics. In Chapter 5 (which offers the topographical case study of midcentury theatre), for example, Cochrane presents a series of short sections, each two to seven pages long, on the following subjects: theatre ownership and control, the transformation of the South Bank, the emergence of repertory theatre, patterns of touring, ethnic and racial demographics, "distaff plays," governmental laws and policies, nonprofit distribution companies, and finance and commerce.
