About This Item

UK,Qrto HB+dw/dj,1st edn. FINE/NFINE.No owner inscrptn, and no price-clip to dw/dj.Large 8voHB+dw/dj,1st edn, 263pp includes notes,an index,b/w photographs and illus,family tree free endpaper,b/w photo-montage of participants.
A celebration and history of twenty years of the very best of British comedy.When Beyond The Fringe opened at the Edinburgh Festival in 1960, it marked the official opening of what was to be a new era in British comedy in the theatre,radio,television and the cinema - an era largely dominated by writers and performers from student cabaret and revue who came into showbusiness almost accidentally.Beyond The Fringe starring Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller and Dudley Moore, changed the face of London Revue and paved the way for the so-called "satire boom" of the early sixties: The Establishment night-club,the magazine Private Eye and BBC TV's That Was The Week That Was.It also paved the way for a second wave of comedy,leading from Cambridge Circus and The Oxford Revue (amongst others) to a host of radio and television shows culminating in The Goodies (Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden,Bill Oddie) and Monty Python's Flying Circus (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin).The complex and entertaining story of these educated comedians and their devastating impact on British comedy has been expertly chronicled by WILMUT.Contains many quotations from special interviews with the people involved and a wealth of hilarious script extracts - ranging from Alan Bennett's celebrated sermon to the famous Monty Python "Pet Shop" sketch - and vivid performance photographs and ephemera.The whole adds up to a feast of satire,wit and lunatic comedy.See also rja27907 for another copy.
