- Summary:
- Joan Littlewood (1914-2002) ran what was probably Britain's only genuine modernist avant-garde theatre company, Theatre Workshop, founded in 1945. Littlewood wanted to combine all the arts of performance into a new dramatic form, and to forge an ensemble capable of realizing it. They would be able to present any play so dynamically that even the theatrically-illiterate would respond, and would relate their response to the political situation, to their social identity and history.
