Description: Off-Centre Stages: Fringe Theatre at the Open Space and the Round House 1968-1983 by Jinnie Schiele. This 240 page hardback book with jacket measures approx 9" x 6". It is the 2005 First Edition published by University of Hertfordshire Press with Society for Theatre Research. Before 1960 the notion that theatre might happen in any space where people could gather had hardly been explored. Charles Marowitz and Thelma Holt founded the Open Space in a basement in London's Tottenham Court Road; Arnold Wesker (and later Thelma Holt again) developed a disused Victorian engine shed in Camden into the Round House theatre and arts centre. These were exciting times, and the productions they spawned were often challenging, and occasionally offensive. This is an important history of a key period in British theatre, made possible by the author's discovery of the archives of both venues. Placed in the care of the Theatre Museum they are now in the V & A Theatre Collections. B&W photos and illustrations throughout the book. Book in excellent condition; jacket is lightly edgeworn.
