Overview

The theatrical 1990's: decade of David Hare's State of the Nation trilogy, Tony Kushner's Angels in America and Arthur Miller's Broken Glass; decade in which Broadway rediscoved itself after a 20-year British invasion and Lloyd Webber bought twelve West End theatres; when Trevor Rylance opened Shakespeare's Globe and Trevor Nunn replaced Richard Eyre at the National Theatre. In this collection of Spectator reviews written in London and New York, Sheridan Morley looks back at the hits and misses, highlights and fiascos of the 1990s in the theatre. The book also contains a brief chronicle of his directorial debut with Corin and Vanessa Redgrave.
