British theatre in the 1990s: a brief political economy
Article Abstract:
Myths concerning British culture and its 1990s' status as the world's theater capital provide a sense of national identity and even help stimulate theater funding to perpetuate the myth. Though theater in the 90s has seen great success, the media has failed to acknowledge that the most popular plays have come from the US or Ireland. Reinforcement of the myth of Britain's greatness stimulates funding and produces a sense of national confidence.
