What reading level is The Future of the Theatre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr.
Shaw is too well able to look after these things 13a FUTURE OF MR. BERNARD SHAW 133 himself. Nor arc we here concerned directly with the future of Mr. Shaw. The future of Mr. Shaw, so far as it exists, is sufficiently provided for in a draft statute of the National Memorial l^heatre, which provides for the frequent revival of recent plays of great merit which would otherwise be permitted to pass into a rapid and unmerited oblivion.
The English dramatic renaissance has so far been more a pro...test than an achievement. Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe it as an achieve- ment that has come by way of a protest. Mr. Bernard Shaw, its most vital expression, has protested most ; and, in consequence, has achieved most. His plays are well written as a protest against the ancient practice of not writing plays at all. His heroes are practical men as a protest against heroes who were impractical idiots ; his heroines live upon beef-steaks as a protest against impossible stage heroines who lived upon modesty and married bliss ; his soldiers who eat chocolate creams are a protest against soldiers who ate fire.
