{"product_id":"1956-and-all-that-dan-rebellato-9780415189392","title":"1956 and All That: The Making of Modern British Drama","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is said that British Drama was shockingly lifted out of the doldrums by the 'revolutionary' appearance of John Osborne's \u003cem\u003eLook Back in Anger\u003c\/em\u003e at the Royal Court in May 1956. But had the theatre been as ephemeral and effeminate as the Angry Young Men claimed? Was the era of Terence Rattigan and 'Binkie' Beaumont as repressed and closeted as it seems?\u003cbr\u003e In this bold and fascinating challenge to the received wisdom of the last forty years of theatrical history, Dan Rebellato uncovers a different story altogether. It is one where Britain's declining Empire and increasing panic over the 'problem' of homosexuality played a crucial role in the construction of an enduring myth of the theatre. By going back to primary sources and rigorously questioning all assumptions, Rebellato has rewritten the history of the Making of Modern British Drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Rebellato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041518939X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415189392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.55w x 0.73d","brand":"Dan Rebellato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112748364031,"sku":"9780415189392","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03e1fee5-1313-4b1b-82f2-05c96f9313ad.jpg?v=1769610674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1956-and-all-that-dan-rebellato-9780415189392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
