Description

Cecil Davies The Adelphi Players: The Theatre of Persons represents a uniquely interesting contribution to our understanding of touring British theatre in the mid-twentieth-century; post-war period. This book will interest everyone - whether student; academic or general reader - who wants to know more about issues concerning the recent history of British theatre. In their values and aims; the Adelphi Players pre-empted many of the post-war developments that we associate with the non-commercial; fringe and community theatre movement. In Richard Heron Ward founder of the Adelphi-Players; we encounter a dramatist; novelist; essayist and poet who has been unusually neglected in terms of our appreciation of the English literature of the broad left in the 1930s; `40s and `50s. The Adelphi Players has been edited by Peter Billingham; who has also provided an introduction placing Ward and the Adelphi players in the wider social; cultural and ideological context.
