The Reluctant Escapologist: Adventures in Alternative Theatre by Mike Bradwell
An unrivalled unofficial history of the rise and partial fall of fringe theatre, Mike Bradwell's deadpan account of his adventures is one of the funniest and angriest books to come out of theatre today.'Inimitably filthy, achingly funny.. Bradwell is one of the most colourful figures in theatre today'
-- Ian Herbert * The Stage *'Both a history and a pointer to the future of theatre, written by one of its most courageous and effective champions'
* Theatres Magazine *'Funny and rude, bloody-minded and undervalued, much like the theatre to which he has given his all'
* Times Literary Supplement *Mike Bradwell (1948-2025) was a leading theatre director. He founded Hull Truck Theatre Company in 1971, was Artistic Director of the Bush Theatre from 1996 until 2007, and worked widely as a freelance director.
