FROM THE PLAYHOUSE TO THE WEST YORKSHIRE

PLAYHOUSE

STAGE I

In the 1960s, Leeds was the largest City in the country without a regional theatre - a professional producing management presenting plays in its own theatre. A small but enthusiastic group of local people had started a campaign in 1964 for a permanent Repertory Theatre (the full story of the campaign is told in Doreen Newlyn's book "Theatre Connections"). Planning permission had been obtained for a site near the Town Hall but spending cuts led to the postponement of the original plan and in 1969, the Leeds Theatre Trust Ltd (incorporated in 1968) decided to search for existing premises which could be transformed into a temporary theatre. After many disappointments, the agreed to lend the Trust, rent-free, the site of a proposed sports hall which cutbacks had forced them to postpone building. The conditions were that the Trust would build the shell and put the Theatre in it in such a way that it could all be removed at the end of a ten year period, whereupon the University would convert the building into a sports hall. The Theatre, designed by Bill Houghton Evans, was built for £150,000 and after six years of persistence, finally opened on Thursday 16th September 1970 with the world premiere of Alan Plater's "Simon Says". Throughout the campaign, there was tremendous support from members of the acting profession including Peter O'Toole, Dame Diana Rigg, , Rodney Bewes, Dame Sybil Thorndike, Dame and James Mason. In December 1970, Prince Charles was invited to officially open the new Leeds Playhouse.

There were two Artistic Directors at the Leeds Playhouse; Bill Hays until 1972 and John Harrison until 1990.

During the 1970s, the Trust began looking for a permanent home. Two of the more ambitious ideas - to convert the old Gaumont Cinema in Cookridge Street and to create a Grand Theatre/Playhouse complex - foundered. Then, in 1978, there were rumours that the Playhouse - close to the end of its ten-year breathing space - was about to close due to reluctant Council funding. Public reaction was swift. More than 30,000 people signed a petition urging that the Playhouse stay open and be allowed to stay on its University site.

STAGE II

Things changed in 1984, when the Leeds City Council earmarked a site on Quarry Hill for the permanent theatre, which prompted the Leeds Theatre Trust to seek financial

1 Handlist 123 backing. It was the generosity of the now defunct West Yorkshire Metropolitan Council which secured the future of the new Playhouse by funding the initial architectural competition and investing £4 million. It was in recognition of this major financial contribution that the new theatre was called the `West Yorkshire Playhouse'.

The national competition to design the theatre was won by a husband and wife team, `The Appleton Partnership' from . The competition was the only one ever in the country for a theatre and was judged by a panel of independent representatives from the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Leeds Playhouse Board.

The first sod was dug by Sir in November 1987. The foundation stone was laid by Dame Judi Dench in March 1989 and the building topped by in September 1989.

Jude Kelly was appointed Artistic Director in January 1989. She led the Company into the new Playhouse and directed the first play, John O'Keefe's "Wild Oats".

The West Yorkshire Playhouse was officially opened by Dame Diana Rigg on 8th March 1990.

*** ********** ***

The building cost £13.5 million. Funding came from Leeds City Council (£5.4 m.), the now defunct West Yorkshire Metropolitan Council (£4 m), the Arts Council (£I m.) and other small grants and donations. The Playhouse raised £1m in capital sponsorship.

*** ********** ***

The Playhouse is managed by a Trust which is a company limited by guarantee and registered with the Charity Commissioners. The Trust elects a board of governors who are responsible for the general running of the Theatre.

In the past Councillor Bernard Atha, a previous Chairman of the Board provided a valuable link between the Playhouse and Leeds City Council. The current Chairman of the Board, Sir Rodney Brooke, was appointed in July 2011.
