摘要

This chapter shows what the legacy of Shaw’s collaborations with the British regional repertory movement has been since Shaw’s death in 1950, pointing to the work of more recently established regional theatres in Britain, including the 1948 Nottingham Playhouse, and the 1946 Bristol Old Vic by focusing on specific Shavian productions staged at these theatres. These discussions draw out some of the tensions and questions that Shaw’s collaborations with regional theatres raise, opening up debates on the binary thinking around experimentation and commercial viability in theatre as well as Shaw’s current critical and public reputation.
