Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an unconventional study of British theatre by presenting excerpts from four little-known plays written between 1909 and 1913. Gilbert Cannan, an influential author of his day, showcases a variety of thematic depth within these comedic one-act plays. The works each explore the growing pains experienced by audiences and playwrights during a time of artistic and societal change. From a playwright struggling to pitch his work to a producer, to a woman defying her family for a higher calling, this book offers a fascinating and humorous insight into the complexities of the early twentieth-century British theatre. Drawing from the works of notable playwrights such as George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde, the author explores how these pressures shaped the work of his contemporaries. This book will be of particular interest to drama students and theatre enthusiasts alike, and anyone curious about the evolution of satire in a changing cultural landscape.
