Samenvatting
Between 1979 and 1997 over a quarter of Britain's regional theatres closed down. Author delves into how and why this crisis occurres and examines the long-term effects on Britain's theatre industry. Between the foundation of the Arts Council in 1945 and the Conservatives' victory in 1979, unresolved issues about the nature of regional theatre and the basis for allocating funds made it difficult for theatres to adapt successfully to changing times. Author explores why theatres were so ill equipped to deal with Thatcherism and asks what, if anything, was done under Blair to address the situation. |
