Abstract

This chapter reflects on the myriad of cultural, sociopolitical, educational and performance traditions in the United Kingdom from the end of WW2 and the rationale for the types and contexts of practitioners and works researched and interrogated in the volume. From this vast topography the authors debate changes in UK's post-WW2 theatre scene, why some concepts and practices have survived and why some have gone out of business. such a landscape calls for a different reading strategy that is designed to both make sense of the selected pieces of works and companies but which more importantly, extends to how researchers and practitioners might read other works.
