Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Theatre of Tomorrow
N o movement in the theatre has ever been Simple enough for the purposes of the pigeonhole. Giants like Hugo and Ibsen may serve as expressions Of the ro mantic and the realistic movements Of the nineteenth century. But they have acquired stature through the passage Of time, and about them in their own day stood playwrights, actors and producers now forgotten from whom and to whom impulse ?owed in the web Of con temporary effort. The new stagecraft has its giant Gordon Craig - a giant who will grow greater in as peet as he and his contemporaries fade into the past. Yet it would be a reckless critic who would lay upon Craig alone the origination Of a movement which Sprang up in imperfect form at half a dozen points in Europe during the years before and after 1900.
