The Oxford Handbook of Scottish Theatre

Provides unique insights into Scottish theatre history and its future direction provided by influential practitioners (the distinguished reviewer Michael Billington, the Director and co-founder of the ground-breaking Communicado Theatre Company, Gerry Mulgrew, the award-winning playwright Nicola McCartney) who shaped the subjects about which they are writing.
Offers original, research-driven studies of theatre history that go beyond the familiar story to explore topics such as the complex, often murky world of eighteenth-century theatre management, the financial constraints on twentieth century theatre, and the political and social forces informing developments such as the National Drama in the early nineteenth century or the work of 7:84 Scotland in the later twentieth century
Comprehensive in its coverage - of plays, playwrights, companies, and theatres across the centuries.
