内容説明
Includes the plays No More A-Roving, Conditions of Agreement, Saint's Day and A Penny for a Song. John Whiting's power as a playwright is indisputable, yet in his lifetime he did not receive much critical acclaim or popular success. He died at the age of forty-six, a disillusioned man, despite the success of The Devils. In his plays he dealt with deeper issues in a way that was at odds with the kind of theatre fashionable in the Fifties. Working outside of the establishment, his work remains vibrant and fresh today. Edited and with introductory notes by Ronald Hayman.

内容説明
Edited with an introduction by Ronald Hayman This collection of essays and theatre criticism by playwright John Whiting first emerged during the most exciting and eventful decade in post-war twentieth-century British theatre - 1952-1962. Working-class characters were forcefully introduced into mainstream theatre as more than just stereotypes in small roles. Phrases such as 'kitchen sink' and 'angry young man' were coined. The decade also saw the creation of two subsidised companies: the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Includes 'The Art of the Dramatist', a lecture delivered at The Old Vic on 29 September 1957.
