Synopsis
Michael Billington's own selection from 20 years of reviewing for "The Guardian" - from 1971, with Ralph Richardson in John Osborne's "West of Suez" and Olivier in "Long Day's Journey into Night", through two decades of theatrical events such as Ken Dodd, "Amadeus" and Peter Hall's National, up to "Carmen Jones" and the new David Hare of 1991. Chronologically arranged with a 5000-word introduction on the critic's role, his reviews and "think pieces" add up to an authoritative, yet personal history of the theatre of our generation.

Review
'If a cultural historian of the next century were looking for a sympathetic and engaged description of the British theatre of the last twenty years, they should look no further than Billington... He is practical, passionate, opinionated and moralistic' Richard Eyre; 'Anyone seeking both immediate impressions and a considered overview of British theatre over the past two decades couldn't find a better guide than this book' Times Literary Supplement; 'Besides being unflaggingly entertaining about dreadful evenings out, Billington exudes enthusiasm whenever he finds cause for congratulations' The Times
