Description: | The papers and documents of the Half Moon Theatre Company formed in 1972 in Aldgate,East London, the company deriving its name from the nearby road, The Half Moon Passage. Founded by Mike Irving and Maurice Colbourne with artistic director Guy Sprung, their aim was to create a rehearsal space and workshop. It went on to become an important venue for left-wing theatre and in 1980 built a new theatre in Mile End.However, by the late 1980's the company was using its Greater London Arts Association Grant to service its debts resulting in the removal of the grant and eventual demise of the company in 1990. The collection comprises management and financial papers; publicity materials; photographs; scripts; press cuttings and photographs.; On-Line Library Catalogue:
