Bernard Shaw and the British regional repertory movement [electronic resource] /by Soudabeh Ananisarab. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xii, 204 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries,2634-582X. - Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries..

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Shaw in London -- Chapter 3: Manchester -- Chapter 4: Glasgow -- Chapter 5: Birmingham -- Chapter 6: Malvern -- Chapter 7: Legacies.

Anchored by a set of four well-researched, cogently presented, and fascinating case studies of collaborations (rep theatres in Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham as well as the Malvern Festival), Bernard Shaw and the British Regional Repertory Movement persuasively demonstrates that these relationships, for Shaw, were integral to the stage life of his plays and eventually unlocked the formal experimentation that characterized his late style. The final section provocatively tracks the legacy of these partnerships as they reverberate through the rest of the century and into our own. -Dr. Christopher Wixson, professor of English and Theatre at Eastern Illinois University and General Editor of SHAW: The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies This book is the first to explore Shaw's full involvement with the twentieth-century British regional repertory movement. Using extensive archival research to piece together Shaw's connections to regional theatres, this book explores monumental regional productions of Shaw's plays and investigates Shaw's relationships - both professional and personal - with key figures in the repertory movement. British repertory theatres and companies, with their emphasis on the use of the short run and ensemble acting, played a crucial role in the staging of non-commercial and theatrically experimental work in the early twentieth century. Shaw collaborated extensively with repertory companies, providing them with plays, which offered alternatives to the London trends of the long run and star system. These theatres, in turn, offered Shaw a way to disseminate his radical artistic and political ideas in British locations outside the capital city as well as internationally. Dr Soudabeh Ananisarab is Lecturer in Drama at Birmingham City University, UK. She is a theatre scholar and historian with a focus on regional theatre histories. She has published several articles and chapters in this area and on early twentieth-century British and Irish theatre more broadly, including contributions to The Edinburgh Companion to Modernism in Contemporary Theatre (2023), The Routledge Companion to Twentieth Century British Theatre and Performance: 1900-1950 (2024) and Sean O'Casey in Context (2025).
