Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este volumen recoge, en rigurosa edición bilingüe a cargo de Simon Breden, las piezas más señeras que produjo el Unity Theatre en defensa de la causa republicana. En todas ellas se trata de concienciar al público británico de la trascendencia internacional de la Guerra Civil, y ganarle así para una causa que con los acuerdos de no-intervención no dispuso de todo el apoyo extranjero que sus defensores habrían deseado. En las obras aquí reunidas predomina, aparte de la vocación propagandista, la búsqueda de fórmulas teatrales innovadoras que dejen atrás, cuando menos parcialmente, el naturalismo, y sean capaces de lograr la comunión artística e ideológica con el público. La selección preparada por Breden incluye las piezas ¡En guardia por España!, España, Antes de Guernica, Comité de ayuda para los insurgentes, Madrileñas, La lucha continúa, Una única batalla y Tierra pisoteada. En los años 30 se consolidan en el Reino Unido numerosas iniciativas civiles en las que se mezcla la militancia política izquierdista con un activismo cultural ciertamente entusiasta. De entre todas ellas, con frecuencia relacionadas entre sí, destacan la revista The Left Review, el club de lectura Left Book Club y el Unity Theatre, que englobaba compañías de teatro amateur que exhibían sus piezas por todo el país. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
