Arising from the first major study of amateur dramatics (funded by the AHRC), this timely new book explores the contribution that amateur dramatic companies make to the experience and representation of community life, to the cultural economy and to constructing heritage and tradition in local, regional and national contexts in times of change.
Arising from the first major study of amateur dramatics (funded by the AHRC), this timely new book explores the contribution that amateur dramatic companies make to the experience and representation of community life, to the cultural economy and to constructing heritage and tradition in local, regional and national contexts in times of change.
This book is the first major study of amateur theatre, offering new perspectives on its place in the cultural and social life of communities. Historically informed, it traces how amateur theatre has impacted national repertoires, contributed to diverse creative economies, and responded to changing patterns of labour. Based on extensive archival and ethnographic research, it traces the importance of amateur theatre to crafting places and the ways in which it sustains the creativity of amateur theatre over a lifetime. It asks: how does amateur theatre-making contribute to the twenty-first century amateur turn?
