Description: "Spanning the pivotal years from 1945 to 1968, The Golden Generation explores the explosive shifts in perspective and performance right across the board - from radical new-wave drama to 'illegitimate' variety musicals, from West End classics to fringe theatre, from cutting-edge 'story documentaries' to 'made-for-TV' plays. Illustrated with more than 45 evocative sketches, letters and photographs, The Golden Generation paints an enlightening picture of one of the most vibrant periods of British theatre."--Jacket.
