Bernard Shaw and the British Regional Repertory Movement provides a comprehensive exploration of Shaw’s full involvement with, and impact on, the British repertory theatre movement that emerged from the Harley Granville Barker – J. E. Vedrenne seasons at London’s Court Theatre, 1904-1907 – until now. The British repertory movement, with its emphasis on the use of the short run and ensemble acting, played a key role in the staging of non-commercial and theatrically experimental work in the early twentieth century and revolutionized Britain’s theatrical landscape. Shaw collaborated extensively with repertory companies, providing them with plays, which offered alternatives to the London trends of the long run and star system. These theatres, in turn, offered Shaw a way to disseminate his radical artistic and political ideas in British locations outside the capital city as well as internationally. Using extensive archive research to piece together Shaw’s connection to regionaltheatres, this book explores monumental regional productions of Shaw’s plays and investigates Shaw’s relationships – both professional and personal – with key figures in the repertory movement.
