It's easy to blame the difficulties theatre now faces on the longest shutdown of stages since the mid-seventeenth century. But these problems began some time before a global pandemic. Decades of free market ideas, ten years of austerity, and the slow encroachment of private space have all worked together to create an industry struggling to define its purpose. The virus was a symptom, not the cause. In Towards A Civic Theatre, director Dan Hutton argues that a theatre which isn't civic in outlook is not worth fighting for. Full of ideas and provocations from a range of theatre practitioners, and drawing on examples from inside and outside of the performing arts, it makes the case for a new kind of theatre fit for purpose in an already tumultuous twenty-first century. It is a toolkit, a guide, an offer to audiences and a call to arms for artistic leaders of tomorrow.

Excerpt from The Civic Theatre, in Relation to the Redemption of Leisure: A Book of Suggestions Now a confusion of terms is very likely to imply or cause a confusion of ideals. TO apply indiscriminately to the municipal theatre Of Ger many, to the state theatre Of Athens, to the Com edie Francaise, to the Abbey Theatre at Dublin, to the repertory theatre at Manchester, England, the designation civic theatre results in a two-fold infelicity Of terms: it adds a superfluous name to Old ideals of the theatre, already clearly named, understood and established; and it leaves without any distinctive name a new ideal of the theatre, not yet established or clearly understood.
