From Vortex, to The Pink Room, to Look Back in Anger, British theater in the decades surrounding World War II evolved through a series of surprises, shocks, and scandals. This program, hosted by renowned theater director Sir Richard Eyre, focuses on theater in London from the 1920s to the '60s, as self-expression struggled against rigid governmental censorship. The contributions of playwrights John Osborne, Noel Coward, Terence Rattigan, Rodney Ackland, Brendan Behan, and Shelagh Delaney are spotlighted, along with heavy-hitting producers "Binky" Beaumont, George Devine, and Joan Littlewood. Original BBC broadcast title: 1956.
