National Service is Eyre's diary of his years as Director of the National Theatre, revealing of both his personal and professional struggles in this demanding post. Ford Davies's Playing Lear recounts the entire process of tackling the challenging role of King Lear, from his research and appraisal of previous approaches, through the rehearsal process to the final verdict of the critics. In Images of Beckett Haynes & Knowlson, photographer and writer together record the dramatist and his work as director. Pennington's Are You There Crocodile - Inventing Anton Chekov traces the evolution of his one-man-show presenting the Russian dramatist as he researches in Russia and elsewhere, through its early performances to end with his current performance text. A Short History of Western Performance Space presents Wiles's account of the changing use of space for performance of all kinds, whether public place, church or temple, formal theatres in their various forms or found space, addressing contemporary concern over where theatre is best performed today. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
