Description: | The collection comprises the papers and records of the Gay Sweatshop Theatre Company, formed in London in 1975. Early members of the company included Drew Griffiths, Alan Pope, Roger Baker, Alan Wakeman, Laurence Collinson, John Roman Baker, Ed Berman, Philip Howells, Gerald Chapman and Philip Osment. The success of the 1976 season saw the company attracting an Arts Council grant and the inclusion of lesbians. Despite the successes achieved by the company in the eighties the nineties saw a new socio-political environment emerging, one which was more hostile to the company ethos. The Arts Council withdrew funding in 1997 and the company closed.The collection comprises scripts; financial and management information; programmes; correspondence; press cuttings; designs; photographs; contracts and letters; On-Line Library Catalogue:
