  • 1956 and ALL THAT: the Making of Modern British Drama
    Downloaded by [Central Uni Library Bucharest] at 22:49 23 September 2013 1956 AND ALL THAT Is it possible to look back beyond anger? It is said that British drama was shockingly lifted out of the doldrums by the ‘revolutionary’ appearance of John Osborne’s Look Back in Anger at the Royal Court in May 1956. But had the theatre been as ephemeral and effeminate as the Angry Young Men claimed? Was the era of Terence Rattigan and ‘Binkie’ Beaumont as repressed and closeted as it seems? In this bold and fascinating challenge to the received wisdom of the last forty years of theatrical history, Dan Rebellato uncovers a different story altogether. It is one where Britain’s declining Empire and increasing panic over the ‘problem’ of homosexuality played a crucial role in the construction of an enduring myth of the theatre. By going back to primary sources and rigorously questioning all assumptions, Rebellato has rewritten the history of the making of modern British drama. Plays discussed include: Look Back in Anger, The Entertainer, Personal Enemy, Epitaph for George Dillon—John Osborne; The Kitchen, Chicken Soup With Barley, Roots, I’m Talking About Jerusalem—Arnold Wesker; Johnson Over Jordan—J.B.Priestly; Each His Own Wilderness—Doris Lessing; Serjeant Musgrave’s Dance— John Arden; Cockpit—Bridget Boland; The Shadow Factory—Anne Ridler; A Taste of Honey—Shelagh Delaney; Salad Days—Julian Slade; and Valmouth—Sandy Wilson. Downloaded by [Central Uni Library Bucharest] at 22:49 23 September 2013 Dan Rebellato lectures in Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London.
