Those that survived found themselves constantly on the brink, forced to radically reduce their programs and shut down for extended periods. \u003ci\u003eBringing Down the House\u003c\/i\u003e examines how and why this crisis occurred, from the British government's scant regard for the arts after World War II to the onset of Thatcherism and its long-lasting effects on the theater industry. This timely read for theater and cultural history scholars unearths a catalog of recurring problems that ensured the fragility of the British regional stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivia Turnbull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841502081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841502083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intellect (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/06\/2009 pg. 19","brand":"Olivia Turnbull","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088854790399,"sku":"9781841502083","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d286e564-a6e9-44cc-a9bb-02ea787e146b.jpg?v=1769106914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bringing-down-the-house-olivia-turnbull-9781841502083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
