  • Chapter 1 Politics and Theatre
    Notes Chapter 1 Politics and Theatre 1 Shellard (1999: 12-13) discusses censorship of works by Unity Theatre, a socia­ list theatre company based in London, during the 1950s. 2 For further information about the theatre companies of the 1970s, see Dreams and Deconstructions: Alternative Theater in Britain, ed. Sandy Craig (Ambergate: Amber Lane Press, 1980) and Stages in the Revolution: Political Theatre since 1960, Catherine Itzin (London: Eyre Methuen, 1980). 3 Rees (1992) quotes John Ashford, the first editor of Time Out, as saying he introduced the term in the late1960s, borrowing the term that had come to categorize the non-invited performances at the Edinburgh Festival. 4 Eyre and Wright state, 'Arts Council funding for alternative theatres in 1969/ 1970 came to £15,000; ten years later, funding from the Drama Panel alone amounted to £1.5 million' (284). 5 Recent surveys have shown clear trends towards political disengagement and falling confidence in the efficacy of the political system. A well-known and accessible source of survey information is the yearly report British Social Attitudes, published in London by Sage Publications and the National Centre for Social Research. The 18th Report, edited by Alison Park eta/. and published in 2001, included the information that 63% of respondents in 2000 thought the system of government needed improvement, compared to 49% in 1973. At the same time, 26% (compared with 19% in 1974) felt that parties 'are only interested in votes' rather than in the opinions and needs of constituents, and 19% (compared to 11 'Yo in 1991) felt that 'things go on the same' regardless of which party is in power.

In this article, I hope to argue that during the early 1990s the well- made play enjoyed a brief flourishing and momentary return (literally) to centre stage before it was superseded again - in much the same way that the likes of Terence Rattigan and Noël Coward were swept away by the Angry Young Men of the Royal Court during the 1950s. However, between 1991- 1994 I contend that the well-made play re-established itself, not only as a West End entertainment, but one which came of age in terms of formal experimentation and the introduction of political commentary into a genre which had always been perceived as conservative in both form and ideology.
