He talks of ldquo;the death of the theatre and theatre-goingrdquo; in the new millennium; laments the loss of good actors; and studies the changing nature of the Arts Council in a Britain which has lost its lsquo;theatre-goingrsquo; culture.The book extends from examining the system of playwriting to theatre management to investigating the economic; political and financial aspects of the theatre which make it what it is today and not what it used to be.Paul Webb provides commentaries on each of the articles; adding his own insight into the topics.
