The Theory of the Modern Stage by Eric Bentley
Brings together writings by dramatists, directors and thinkers who have had a profound effect on the theatre since mid nineteenth century, from Adolphe Appia to Emile Zola. Here, Antonin Artaud sets out a manifesto for a Theatre of Cruelty, and Bernard Shaw defends himself as a realist, while W B Yeats describes the creation of a People's Theatre.
Eric Bentley, one of the foremost authorities on the modern theatre, is a recognised playwright, critic, and scholar, and a longtime intimate of Brecht. His most recent book is Bentley on Brecht.
