The Royal Court Theatre is one of the primary forums in the development of post-war drama. Under the title of the English Stage Company the theatres house actors and dramatists commissioned and produced some of the most influential plays in modern theatre history; including the works of Brenton; Churchill; Bond and Osborne. The story of the Royal Court is also the history of the contemporary stage. In this absorbing account of the theatres history from 1956 to 1998; first published in 1999; Philip Roberts draws on previously unpublished archives in both public and private collections and a series of interviews with people prominent in the Courts life. The book also includes a Foreword by the former Director of the Royal Court; Max Stafford-Clark. The result is an intimate account of the working of the foremost house of modern drama and its relationships to the world of the theatre in Britain and abroad.
