A SEARING SOUVENIR,
By
This review is from: Burnt Bridges: A Souvenir of the Swinging Sixties and Beyond (Hardcover)
A WITTY AND INCISIVE DESCRIPTION OF 'THE SWINGING SIXTIES' - PARTICULARLY
APT TO THEATRE-LOVERS. WITHOUT PULLING ANY PUNCHES, IT DESCRIBES THE TURMOILS AND TREACHERIES OF THE LONDON THEATRE SCENE IN THE 60s AND 70s COMBINING FASCINATING PERSONAL CONFESSIONS OF ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS OF THE NEW DRAMA; A WRITER-PLAYWRIGHT -DIRECTOR WHO WORKED CLOSELY WITH PETER BROOK AT THE ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY AND IN TANDEM WITH THELMA HOLT, NOW ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS PRODUCERS IN THE WEST END. A RARE INSIGHT INTO THE WORKINGS OF PROFESSIONAL, OFF-BEAT THEATRE DURING THAT PERIOD WHEN THE BEATLES,THE ROLLING STONES, WILLIAM BURROUGHS, MERCE CUNNINGHAM, JOHN CAGE AND JACK KEROUAC WERE RECONSTITUTING THE ARTS IN ENGLAND. THIS IS THE KIND OF MATERIAL BIO-PICS ARE MADE OF! NATHAN GLAZER |
