註釋
Bill Bryden's Cottesloe Company, which flourished at Peter Hall's National Theatre, was the English theatre's only true ensemble of the last thirty or so years.
Impossible Plays
tells
the story of the company and the many actors and musicians connected to it
.
Co-written by Keith Dewhurst, author of eight plays for the group, and Jack Shepherd, a founder-actor, it explains the ideas behind the company's work and how the work was staged, and provides an idiosyncratic, lively and deeply personal take on the company.
"The search was always to find a popular theatre, a form of theatre that would draw into it people from all backgrounds, not just the cultured and the educated."
Beginning with a Royal Court Theatre Sunday night performance in 1970, the story of one company's aim to create a popular theatre form includes such milestone productions as
The Mystery
cycle of plays and
Lark Rise to Candleford.
With
photographs
by John Haynes, Michael Mayhew and Nobby Clark,
Impossible Plays
is a glorious and timely tribute to one of theatre's most innovative companies.
