Richard Eyre was invited by the BBC to write and present a series of programmes about the history of British theatre in the 20th century. Eyre decided to write a book first, and this is that book. The book is drawn from many sources and covers a range of themes, people and movements.

Reveals the author's views on acting, directing and politics, and presents portraits of his friends and colleagues, such as Ian Charleson, Laurence Olivier, Ian McKellen and Peter Brook.

A superlative account of how theatre is made, in the words of the very people who make it.
