Signed: ……………………………………………. 3 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the generosity of many individuals who were kind enough to share their knowledge and theatre experience with me. I have spoken with actors, musical directors, set designers, directors, singers, choreographers and actor-musicians and their names and testaments exist within the thesis. I should like to thank Emily Parsons the archivist for the Liverpool Everyman for all her help with my endless requests. I also want to thank Jonathan Petherbridge at the London Bubble for making the archive available to me. A further thank you to Rosamond Castle for all her help. On a sadder note a posthumous thank you to the director Robert Hamlin. He responded to my email request for the information with warmth, humour and above all, great enthusiasm for the project. Also a posthumous thank you to the actor, Robert Demeger who was so very generous with the information regarding the production of Ninagawa’s Hamlet in which he played Polonius. Finally, a big thank you to John Ginman for all his help, patience and advice. 4 The Development of the Role of the Actor-Musician in Britain by British Directors During the Period 1960 to 2000.

  • Ijost Article
    International Journal of Scottish Theatre and Screen Volume 4 Number 2, 2011 The media and literature in contemporary Scotland: challenges and opportunities David Hutchison Glasgow Caledonian University This article explores the relationship between literature and the media in the Scottish milieu. The emphasis, as far as the former is concerned, is firmly on the novel, though some comment is made on drama. The analysis moves on to consider not only problematic aspects of the current situation but also the difficulties which may lie ahead, given the uncertain nature of Scotland’s constitutional future. General Background The devolution settlement, under which a Scottish parliament has been elected every four years since 1999, is wide ranging, with Holyrood having legislative power over the Scottish legal system, criminal justice, local government, education and social policy. Indeed there is very little that is not devolved, outside of defence, foreign affairs and the social security system.1 Criticism has tended to focus on the financial arrangements and on the few anomalies which exist. The Scottish government, although it was given the right to vary the standard rate of income tax by three pence in the pound up or down – a power which has never been used – derives its revenue from a block grant made by Westminster, £30 billion in the current financial year. 2 It might be argued that with Holyrood’s real income increasing substantially in its first twelve years, the system can encourage an irresponsible attitude to public expenditure when there is no need to seek a mandate from the electorate to pay directly for the services provided, and every incentive to keep spending, since Westminster will provide.

  • TELEVISION in the 1960'S. in TERMS of TELEVISION the 1960'S Was an Exceptional Era for Broadcasting Innovation and Ex- Cite
    TELEVISION IN THE 1960’S. IN TERMS OF TELEVISION the 1960’s was an exceptional era for broadcasting innovation and ex- citement. Since its inception in the late 1920’s by American Philo Taylor Farnsworth aged 21 who was brought up in a home with no electricity until he was 14, the first electronic television began to grow in popu- larity across the english speaking world. John Reith ( 1889 - 1971 ) was the founder of the BBC. He was the first general manager when it was set up as the British Broadcasting Company in 1922, and he was its first Director General when it be- came a public broadcasting corporation in 1927. A towering man in every sense of the word he fought off the politicians’ attempts to influence the BBC whilst offering the British people programmes to “ EDUCATE, INFORM AND ENTERTAIN “ By the early 1950’s TELEVISION began its special role as a focus point for a shared nation culture - a national pride - and it all began with the Queen’s Coronation. Elizabeth 11 was crowned in Westmin- ster Abbey on June 2nd 1953. At that time fewer than 2 million homes had televisions, and these were mainly grouped around large conurbations , London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Glasgow. In the build up to the day 526, 000 sets were sold as Coronation fever swept the country and although there was only 2.5 millions sets in Britain , somehow 20 million people managed to watch the event. My survey says that many families 58% acquired a TV for the Coronation, one of my contributors as a young boy helped his Dad construct a television for the occasion, and those houses without a telly were invited to friends or neighbours to watch.
