Description
The volume deals with a variety of theatrical activities of refugees from Nazi Germany in Britain and their impact, approached from a British standpoint rather than that of the emigres. The historical account of the cross-fertilization between the British theatre and film industry and the aesthetic principles and artistic traditions brought from Central Europe are discussed as is the wider philosophical problems inherent in any cultural transfer from one country to another. The position of the theatre, opera, ballet and film at this time are all covered. - from Amzon
