Michael Billington s State
of the
Nation
looks at post-war Britain from a theatrical
perspective. It examines the constant
interplay between theatre and society from
the resurgent optimism of the Attlee years
to the satire boom of the sixties and the
growth of political theatre under Tony
Blair in the post-Iraq period.
Written by Britain s longest-serving theatre
critic, the book also offers a passionate
defence of the dramatist as the medium s
key creative figure. It provides detailed
evaluations of writers from Priestley and
Rattigan to Bennett and Hare, questions
established myths such as the notion that
hoo Bac in Anger launched an overnight
revolution in
1956
and charts the links
between Thatcherism and the musical.
Controversial, witty and informed, State
of the Nation offers a fresh and challenging
look at the vast upheavals that have taken
place in Britain and its theatre in the
course of sixty turbulent years.
