Oxford Playhouse

"Don Chapman tells for the first time the story of the Oxford Playhouse, to coincide with the seventieth anniversary of its present home in Beaumont Street, Oxford. He traces the history of this great theatre back to its earliest roots in a production of Agamemnon in 1880 which led to the founding of the Oxford University Dramatic Society, the rebuilding of Oxford's New Theatre and, eventually, the launch of the Playhouse itself." "The book also celebrates a galaxy of actors including Flora Robson, John Gielgud, Maggie Smith, Ronnie Barker, Judi Dench and Helena Bonham-Carter and records the first steps of countless students from Peter Brook to Maria Aitken, Diana Quick to Rowan Atkinson, including a few, like Edward Heath and Joanna Trollope, who gained distinction in other spheres."--Jacket.
