Richard Eyre and Nicholas Wright have written what they describe as 'a partial, personal and unscholarly view of the century's theatre'. The authors state their credo at the outset: that the greatest asset to the theatre here is the English language. This in turn is magnified by the 'miraculous accident' that is Shakespeare. This book traces the ways in which Shakespeare's plays have been used as nationalistic pageants, star vehicles and contemporary metaphors, mirroring changes in society over the century. Questions of the purpose and relevance of the theatre in a world dominated by electronic media are explored; can an art survive which always relies on the scale of the human figure, the sound of the human voice, and the desire to tell each other stories?
