Summary Annotation <div><div>Between 1979 and 1997, a quarter of Britain&#8217;s regional theaters closed their doors forever. Those that survived found themselves constantly on the brink, forced to radically reduce their programs and shut down for extended periods.<i>Bringing Down the House</i>examines how and why this crisis occurred, from the British government&#8217;s scant regard for the arts after World War II to the onset of Thatcherism and its long-lasting effects on the theater industry. This timely read for theater and cultural history scholars unearths a catalog of recurring problems that ensured the fragility of the British regional stage.</div><div>&#160;</div></div>
