Interviews with five theatremakers -- 6. The National Theatre of Scotland: mapping onto the landscape -- 7. Conclusion: the future of a renaissance.This book argues that Scottish theatre has, since the late 1960s, undergone an artistic renaissance, driven by European Modernist aesthetics. Combining detailed research and analysis with exclusive interviews with ten leading figures in modern Scottish drama, the book sets out the case for the last half-century as the strongest period in the history of the Scottish stage. Mark Brown traces the development of Scottish theatre's Modernist revolution from the arrival of influential theatre director Giles Havergal at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow in 1969 through to the advent of the National Theatre of Scotland in 2006. Finally, the book contemplates the future of Scotland's theatrical renaissance. It is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary theatre and/or the modern history of live drama in Scotland.TheaterTheaterHistoryPerforming artsNational and Regional Theatre and PerformanceTheatre HistoryContemporary Theatre and PerformanceTheatre and Performance ArtsTheater.TheaterHistory.Performing arts.National and Regional Theatre and Performance.Theatre History.Contemporary Theatre and Performance.Theatre and Performance Arts.792.09411Brown Markauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1179673BOOK9910484041103321Modernism and Scottish Theatre since 19692855095UNINA
