It encompasses both the post-war theatre archives held by the British Library, and also their post-1968 scripts collection. In addition, many oral history interviews have been carried out with visitors and theatre practitioners. The Project began at the University of Sheffield and later transferred to De Montfort University. The archive at Sheffield contains 170 CD-ROMs of interviews with theatre workers and audience members, including Glenda Jackson, Brian Rix, Susan Engel and Michael Frayn. There is also a collection of copies of correspondence between Gyorgy Lengyel and Michel and Suria Saint Denis, and between Gyorgy Lengyel and Sir John Gielgud, dating from 1958 to 1999.

  • Talking out of Tune
    Talking Out of Tune Remembering British Theatre 1944-56 Kate Lucy Harris Ph.D. School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics University of Sheffield December 2008 1 Summary of Thesis This thesis explores how British Theatre represented and reacted to cultural and social changes between 1944 and 1956. It is closely linked to the oral history strand of the AHRC University of Sheffield British Library Theatre Archive Project <http://www.bl.ukltheatrearchive>. The five chapters focus on distinct subject areas in order to explore the vibrant diversity of the period. However, they are united by an overarching narrative which seeks to consider the relationship between memory and history. The first chapter is based on the oral history strand. It explores the different ways in which the Project's methodology has shaped both the interviewee testimony and my own research. Chapter 2 focuses on the changing historical perceptions of the popular West End plays of the day. Case studies of plays are used to compare the responses of audiences and critics in the 1940s and 50s, with the critical commentaries that surround the plays and playwrights today. The third chapter explores the relationship between BBC television drama and theatre. It assesses the impact that cross fertilisation had on both media by examining plays, productions and policies. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on two of the theatre companies of the period - Theatre Workshop and the Old Vic Theatre Company. Chapter 4 explores the impact that Theatre Workshop's early years as a touring group had on the development of the company. It draws on new oral history testimonies from former company members who joined the group in the 1940s and early 50s.

  • Black and Asian Theatre in Britain
    Black and Asian Theatre in Britain ‘An important and long overdue book on the huge contribution that Black and Asian artists have made and continue to make to Britain’s theatrical landscape.’ – Meera Syal Black and Asian Theatre in Britain is an unprecedented study tracing the history of ‘the Other’ through the ages in British theatre. The diverse and often contradictory aspects of this history are expertly drawn together to provide a detailed background to the work of African, Asian, and Caribbean diasporic companies and practitioners. Colin Chambers examines early forms of blackface and other representations in the sixteenth century, through to the emergence of black and Asian actors, companies, and theatre groups in their own right. Thorough analysis uncovers how they led to a flourishing of black and Asian voices in theatre at the turn of the twenty­first century. Figures and companies studied include: • Ira Aldridge • Indian Art and Dramatic Society • Henry Francis Downing • Temba • Paul Robeson • Edric and Pearl Connor • Errol John • Tara Arts • Mustapha Matura • Yvonne Brewster • Dark and Light Theatre • Tamasha • The Keskidee Centre • Talawa. Black and Asian Theatre in Britain is an enlightening and immensely readable resource and represents a major new study of theatre history and British history as a whole. Colin Chambers was Kingston University’s first Professor of Drama. Formerly a journalist and theatre critic, he was Literary Manager of the Royal Shakespeare Company from 1981 to 1997. His books include The Story of Unity Theatre (1989), the award­winning biography Peggy: The Life of Margaret Ramsay, Play Agent (1997), The Continuum Companion to Twentieth Century Theatre (editor, 2002), Inside the Royal Shakespeare Company (2004) and Here We Stand (2006).

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-53220-4 - Twelfth Night Edited by Elizabeth Schafer Frontmatter More information SHAKESPEARE IN PRODUCTION TWELFTH NIGHT For four centuries Twelfth Night has inspired theatre directors and perform- ers: some have found class war; some have seen Malvolio as a tragic hero; some have found a passive Viola and others have found an action woman. Whether a production’s emphasis is on gender bending, festivity or trying to reinvent Shakespeare as Chekhov, the sheer variety of Twelfth Nightson offer over the centuries attests to the play’s power as a stimulus to theatrical creativity.The dazzling range of the Twelfth Nights considered here includes the productively wayward as well as the conventionally respectable, produc- tions which play to the contemporary market as well as those that seek to flout tradition. This indispensable stage history covers changing fashions in the fortunes of Twelfth Night, and includes a survey of a wide variety of theatrical interpretations of the play in the English-speaking world. elizabeth schafer is Professor of Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London.

  • Aubrey Menen and the Experimental Theatre Company Author
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Open Research Exeter National Representations, National Theatres: Aubrey Menen and the Experimental Theatre Company Author: Florian Stadtler, Department of English and Film, University of Exeter, Exeter, UK Correspondence Address: Department of English and Film, University of Exeter, Queen’s Building, The Queen’s Drive, Exeter, EX4 4QH, UK, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This article discusses the Indian-Irish playwright and critic Aubrey Menen’s involvement with London's theatre scene in the 1930s. Aubrey Menen became heavily involved in student drama activities while a philosophy student at University College London. He co-founded the London Student Players as well as the Experimental Theatre company, a group on London's theatre fringe which sought to produce plays that were of the moment, politically current, pushing the boundaries of theatrical staging in alternative performance spaces. At the age of 21, Menen also became the dramatic critic for the monthly magazine, The Bookman. Menen used his column to offer a sharp critical dissection of the state of British theatre and to lay out a plan for a theatre that can call itself truly 'national' and how this might be achieved financially, artistically and practically. This essay highlights the wider context of Menen’s own pronouncements in The Bookman, exploring these as part of his engagement with London's alternative theatre scene in the 1930s. It argues that Menen’s ideas were a timely intervention into crucial debates how the nation should be represented in drama and how drama could reach an audience beyond the middle classes, preoccupations that are still hotly debated today.

  • Guide to Further Reading
    Guide to Further Reading Bibliographies which simply list title after title have never seemed to me particularly useful. This essay tries to survey the material available on the various individuals and theatres covered in the book. The place of publication is London unless stated otherwise. General There is no general account of the history of alternative and experimental theatre in Britain. The nearest to it is David Bradby and John McCormick People's Theatre (Croom Helm, 1978); this covers Britain, France, the Soviet Union, the United States and Germany in less than 160 pages, so the observations as regards Britain are necessarily brief. Theatre Quarterly (vol. 1, no. 4, October-December 1971) is devoted solely to articles on 'People's Theatre'. History Workshop (4, Autumn 1977) contains some wideranging articles on the Workers' Theatre Movement. Expanded versions together with new work are in R. Samuel, E. MacColl and S. Cosgrove, Theatres of the Left 1880-1935 (Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1985). Look too at the essays in D. Bradby, L. James and B. Sharratt (eds), Performance and Politics in Popular Drama (Cambridge University Press, 1981). The journal Theatre Quarterly, published from 1971, often included interesting historical material. 210 Guide to Further Reading 211 1 The Great Bard and All That What is needed is a book which looks at just how Shakespeare's plays have been staged and interpreted since the sixteenth century. Until then we have to rely on Gamini Salgado's Eyewitnesses ofShakespeare (Sussex University Press, 1975). Peter Brook in his The Empty Space (Penguin, 1972) distinguished certain strands within the theatre, but I don't think his model is as helpful as mine (yes, well, I wouldn't, would I?).John Pick's view of the West End stage is apparent from his title alone: The West End: Mismanagement and Snobbery (Eastbourne: John Offord, 1983).

He is ringing after reading a letter in The Stage newspaper, from a second year student from the Department of English at Manchester Metropolitan University, Dean Ashton, himself an ex-Coronation Street actor, asking for readers to share their memories of Manchester's Library Theatre Company. On the phone, Karl tells me, “I was a member of Intimate Theatre; the pre-cursor to the Library Theatre Company.” The son of a Russian Jewish refugee, who gave up her own acting ambition to become a bespoke tailoress, Karl was in his late teens and working in his uncle's shop in Manchester at the outbreak of war in 1939. He volunteered to serve in the Merchant Navy and despite coming under attack on several occasions, he survived the war without injury. When he was de-mobbed in 1947, Karl joined Andre Van Gyseghem's company in the basement of Manchester's Central Library, as an unpaid member of the student company.
