Encore Theatre Magazine is an online magazine relating to contemporary theatre published in the United Kingdom.[1] [2]
Encore Theatre Magazine begun publication in May 2003. It was inspired by the defunct magazine of the same title (Encore), which had a brief but influential life from 1954 to 1965. The magazine describes its history thus:
Articles published in the original Encore were reprinted in a volume entitled The Encore Reader: A Chronicle of New Drama. According to Robert Brustein, the original magazine Encore embodied both the virtues and the failings of the movement it examined; he criticizes it for being "bursting with energy, vigor, and excitement" but being "seriously lacking in balanced judgments or penetrating ideas."[3]
