This radical man brought theatre-in-the-round to Britain, provoked Ayckbourn, Pinter and verbatim theatre creator Peter Cheeseman to write and direct, and democratised theatregoing. This monograph investigates his forgotten legacy.This monograph draws on largely unsorted archival material (including letters from Harold Pinter, J. B. Priestley, Peggy Ramsay and others), and on new interviews with figures including Sir Alan Ayckbourn, Trevor Griffiths and Sir Ben Kingsley, to demonstrate how the impact on theatre in Britain of manager, director and 'missionary' Stephen Joseph has been far greater than is currently acknowledged within traditional theatre history narratives. The text provides a detailed assessment of Joseph's work and ideas during his lifetime, and summarises his broadly-unrecognised posthumous legacy within contemporary theatre. Throughout the book Paul Elsam identifies Joseph's work and ideas, and illustrates and analyses how others have responded to them. Key incidents and events during Joseph's career are interrogated, and case studies that highlight Joseph's influence and working methods are provided"-- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Joseph, Stephen, $d 1921-1967 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Arena theater $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Theater / History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180203015439.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EF65B7AAD4E311E3810EC6B1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
