This Penguin collection charts the seismic shift in modern theatre, tracing how drama evolved from Ibsen's revolutionary realism through to Brecht's epic theatre. It's a brilliant companion for anyone studying the heavyweights who redefined what theatre could do—socially, politically, and artistically. Whether you're a drama student, theatre-maker, or just fascinated by how the stage became a mirror (and sometimes a hammer) for society, this is essential reading.
