• W224042496 abstract "The year 1968 has assumed iconic status in the history of post-war Europe and America. It stands as the fulcrum of a period of global political and cultural ferment which was led in the main by the young, and in particular by students. From Nanterre to London, from Tokyo to Berkeley, on the streets of Paris and Belgrade the appearance was given of a generation in revolt. While those involved may have felt that theirs was indeed an epochal struggle, yet it is David Caute's analysis of the period 1968-70 as a cultural rather than a political revolution that represents orthodoxy among historians and cultural commentators: The revolutionary movements of 1967-69 marked, in one respect at least, a break with history: in a period of unprecedented material prosperity and cultural tolerance, the sons and daughters of the most privileged sections of the population rebelled. It was a moral revolt generated by alienation from dominant values, but it did not on the whole extend to the working class. (vii) Whatever the risk to the Fourth Republic posed by French students, the British State was never in any danger according to historian Eric Hobsbawm, who has emphasised the relative affluence of the post war generations: If ever capitalism looked as if it worked, it was in these decades ... it brought strikingly impressive improvements in the standard of living of most people, due partly to rising wages and high employment, partly to great improvements in social security (131). While the war in Vietnam focused revolutionary fervour, the threat of nuclear war fuelled the hedonism and narcissism of the drug and rock culture; Andrew Sinclair has pointed to this connection: The yeast of the sixties was not pop music or sexual liberation, but the conviction of the young after the Cuban affair that they were living on borrowed time. As much as sex and drugs and rock music, mass death defined the decade. (92) These political and cultural developments would find potent cultural expression across the arts, but especially through theatre. For academic John Bull the decade was momentous: In the late 1960's a number of quite startling changes occurred in British theatre, changes which for the first time challenged the very basis of theatrical organisation, and heralded the beginning of the most consistently exciting decade of drama of the entire century. (1) The new theatres would give rise to new structures of performance, and generate new audiences for theatre, creating, in opposition to the dominant formations, alternative circuits which embraced arts labs and community halls, working men's clubs and trades union meetings. Theatre would invade public spaces, redefining the streets as sites for Marxist agitation and Carnivaleque celebration. Gender, race and sexuality were the fault-lines around which radical politics would be redrawn, and the history of the period is in part the history of their eruption into political and cultural space. In the field of political theatre CAST represented, along with the Brighton Combination and North West Spanner, a small but significant group of working-class activists within the predominantly middle-class counterculture. CAST's particular contribution to the development of revolutionary struggle would be to explore through theatre the problematic relationship between the revolutionary intelligentsia and the working class, between theory and practice. The Group as Gang, 1965-74 The original group, Roland Muldoon, Claire Burnley, Ray Levine, and David Hatton, had left school at fifteen and drifted, in a mixture of instinctive rebelliousness and class politics, towards the libertarian left. They brought to the counter-culture the aggressive cohesion of the Mods and Rockers sub-culture which had shaped them. Muldoon, the group's creative inspiration and spokesperson, was raised as a Roman Catholic in a second-generation Irish family on a council estate in Weybridge, Surrey. …" @default.
