The Politics of Alternative Theatre in Britain, 1968-1990: The Case of 7:84 (Scotland)

This is the first book to examine one of the most influential modern theatre companies, 7:84 (Scotland), under the directorship of John McGrath. 7:84 (Scotland) has been a vital contributor to the place and importance of alternative theatre on the modern British stage. DiCenzo explores the development of this company, the growth of popular theatre in general within the last twenty years and also offers a new methodology for analysing records and materials found in theatre company archives and illustrates the many issues inherent in running a theatre company, including venues, practitioners, and the politics of funding. The book includes valuable primary source material and informative production photographs and company posters.
