"There has been always as much drama offstage as on at the National Theatre, and much of it is to be found in the letters, telegrams, scribbled notes and colourful postcards of its main players. This book brings together for the first time eight hundred of the most inspiring, dramatic and amusing letters from the life of Britain's most beloved theatre. Together, they reveal the stories behind some of the most lavish, triumphant, daring and disastrous productions in the theatre's history. A rich collection of correspondence like no other, this book offers a fascinating and celebratory look at the world of theatre and beyond."--Provided by publisher.
