  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

  • Inventory Acc.13182 Edith Macarthur
    Acc.13182 October 2010 Inventory Acc.13182 Edith Macarthur National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Division George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW Tel: 0131-466 2812 Fax: 0131-466 2811 E-mail: [email protected] © Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Papers, circa 1942-2006, of Edith Macarthur, actor (b.1926). The collection includes scripts, photographs, press cuttings and other items of theatre and television memorabilia. Edith Macarthur’s stage career has taken her to most major producing theatres in Scotland, and to many in England. The variety of her range is demonstrated in the collection, from her early days with respected amateur company, the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Players, to acclaim with prestigious companies such as the Royal Lyceum, Citizens’, Gateway, Bristol Old Vic, Pitlochry Festival, Traverse and Royal Shakespeare. Leading roles in the canon of major plays by Arthur Miller, James Bridie, Anton Chekhov, Eugene O’Neill, Noel Coward and their like, and various acclaimed productions of ‘The Thrie Estaites’, established her stage reputation. Alongside runs a vein of comedy and variety, from the ‘Five Past Eight Shows’ of the 1950s at the Citizens’, to regularly playing Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother in pantomime during the 1980s and 1990s. There is also a considerable body of television work, from early series such as ‘The Borderers’ and ‘Sutherland’s Law’, and the renowned 1970s adaptation of ‘Sunset Song’, to the long-running Scottish Television soap, ‘High Road’. A milestone was the 1993 film ‘The Long Roads’ by John McGrath. At about this time Miss Macarthur was coming to the attention of less mainstream theatre-producers in Scotland.

  • A Doll's House
    The National Theatre of Scotland and Royal Lyceum Theatre present SCOTTISH PREMIERE A Doll’s House By Henrik Ibsen, in a version by Zinnie Harris Directed by Graham McLaren Set Design by Robert Innes Hopkins, Lighting Design by Tim Mitchell, Sound Design by Nick Sagar Cast includes: Robert Cavanah, Brian McCardie, Lucianne McEvoy, Kevin McMonagle, Amy Manson, Sharon Young At the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh from 16 April to 4 May 2013 Press Performance: Wednesday 17 April at 7.45pm Following the success of the critically acclaimed production The Guid Sisters in 2012, the National Theatre of Scotland is delighted to be working in partnership again with the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh to bring this new version of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to the Scottish stage for the first time. A stellar cast of Scottish performers has been assembled, with the lead role of Nora being played by Amy Manson. This will mark Amy’s return to the Lyceum, where she won Best Performance (Female) in 2008 for her role in Six Characters in Search of an Author at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland. Since then she has gone on to enjoy success in British film and television. A Doll’s House caused outrage both in its style and content when first staged in 1879. Zinnie Harris has transposed her version from late 19th-century Norway to Edwardian London and shifted the tale of intrigue, fraud and betrayal from the world of finance to that of politics. Her version has strong contemporary resonances, revealing a world where duty, power and hypocrisy rule, and brings modern sensibilities to bear on Nora’s marriage, at the heart of the play.

The collection chiefly relates to the Gateway Theatre, (1953-1965) in which Marillyn Gray was a regular performer. The Gateway papers came into her care at some point after the theatre closed possibly entrusted to her by, or after the death of, Sadie Aitken (1905-85) Gateway Theatre General Manager, some of whose papers are in the collection. Marillyn Gray was born in Edinburgh, attending Trinity Academy. After serving her apprenticeship at Perth Repertory theatre she had her first major role in 1951 with the Glasgow Citizens’ Spindrift written by Naomi Mitchison and Denis Macintosh, playing alongside Duncan Macrae and Fulton MacKay. Thereafter she became a stalwart at the Gateway Theatre in Edinburgh. She also worked for many years with Jimmy Logan’s variety shows, and made numerous appearances on radio and television. She later taught at the Drama Department of Queen Margaret College in Edinburgh, directing a number of their productions. The Gateway was gifted to the Church of Scotland by local businessman A.G. Anderson in 1944. Under the stewardship of director Rev George Candlish and manager Sadie Aitken it was officially opened as a theatre in October 1946 showing films and inviting companies such as Perth Theatre, Dundee Rep, Glasgow Citizens, and the Scottish National Players to visit.
