The Royal Court Theatre is one of the primary forums in the development of post-war drama. Under the title of the English Stage Company the theatre's house actors and dramatists commissioned and produced some of the most influential plays in modern theatre history, including the works of Brenton, Churchill, Bond and Osborne. The story of the Royal Court is also the history of the contemporary stage. In this absorbing account of the theatre's history from 1956 to 1998, first published in 1999, Philip Roberts draws on previously unpublished archives in both public and private collections and a series of interviews with people prominent in the Court's life. The book also includes a Foreword by the former Director of the Royal Court, Max Stafford-Clark. The result is an intimate account of the working of the foremost house of modern drama and its relationships to the world of the theatre in Britain and abroad.

In der frühen Sowjetunion kursierten zahlreiche Broschüren mit Gerichtstheaterstücken, in denen Alkoholiker, Wunderheilerinnen, Mücken oder gar Gott vor Gericht standen. Die teils komischen, teils grotesken Stücke, die Laien in Dörfern oder Fabriken aufführten, offenbaren eine für die postrevolutionären 1920er Jahre typische Ambivalenz: Sie oszillieren zwischen Ideen der Selbstermächtigung und einem brutalen Projekt der Disziplinierung und Säuberung. Gianna Frölicher zeigt, wie in diesem Genre im Zuge der Totalitarisierung unter Stalin die Grenzen zwischen Theater und Gericht zunehmend verschwinden - bis das Gerichtstheater zu Beginn der 1930er Jahre lautlos in eine theatrale Justiz übergeht.
