Book Synopsis British Theatre in the Great War by : Gordon Williams
Book excerpt: That the period also saw the commercial theatre's absorption of continental avant-gardeism by way of revue, the last great epoch of music hall, the rise of the Old Vic with a project in opera and Shakespeare of which we are still the beneficiaries, and the unprecedented popularity of opera everywhere (this was surely the most fruitful period of Thomas Beecham's theatrical career) is compelling argument for revaluation."--BOOK JACKET.
