[edit] English drama

Originally nominated for AID, but it's better focused here. Humanities topics like this are what we need to improve. A quick random glance at this article makes it look all right - relatively long, nice images, and so on. But a closer look shows that it's a jumble of unorganized information, mostly name-dropping/"play-dropping", and by and large very poorly written. zafiroblue05 | Talk 23:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

This page is presently more about English theatre than drama, with its mentions of burlesque and music hall. The page ought perhaps to be broken down into History, Genres with datelines for easily-defined English styles such as Restoration comedy, Kitchen sink drama (missing at present and very significant!) and In-yer-face theatre, with a further section which differentiates between the attitudes of West End and regional theatre to English drama. Could do better. - Stevecov 17:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh yes, and I meant to say that Andrew Lloyd Webber has absolutely nothing to do with English drama, but I forgot first time out! - Stevecov 17:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
