Description: "Was Look Back in Anger the most important theatrical event of the 1950s? Drawing on the extensive post-war archives of the British Library, the contributors to this volume review the genesis of the English Stage Company, the role of the Lord Chamberlain, the struggle to establish the National Theatre and the significance of Kenneth Tynan. The volume includes an interview with Harold Pinter on his recollections of the period."--Jacket.
