Task 3
British dramatists.

In the past 20 years, there has been a considerable increase in

the number of new playwrights in Britain and this has been

encouraged by the growth of new theatre companies. In 1956 the

English Stage Company began productions with the object of

bringing new writers into the theatre and providing training

facilities for young actors, directors, and designers; a large

number of new dramatists emerged as a result of the company

productions Television has been an important factor in the

emergence of other dramatists who write primarily for it; both

the BBC and IBA transmit a large number of single plays each

year as well as drama series and serials.
