A National Theatre: Scheme And Estimates

By Harley Granville-Barker and William Archer

Book Overview

""A National Theatre: Scheme and Estimates"" is a book written by William Archer that presents a proposal for the establishment of a national theatre in Great Britain. The author argues that such a theatre would not only provide a platform for the best theatrical productions but also serve as a cultural institution that would promote the country's artistic and intellectual heritage. The book includes detailed estimates for the cost of building and running the theatre, as well as a plan for its governance and programming. It also offers a historical overview of the British theatre and its current state, highlighting the need for a national theatre. Overall, ""A National Theatre: Scheme and Estimates"" is a comprehensive and persuasive argument for the creation of a national theatre in Great Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
