ABSTRACT

Harley Granville-Barker is too well known as author, director and theorist to need much introduction. A great friend of G.B. Shaw and William Archer, in 1904 he drew up ‘A Scheme and Estimates for a National Theatre’. He and Vedrenne were responsible for the famous 1904-7 season at the Royal Court. His direct impact on the theatre as director ceased after he married Helen Huntingdon in 1918. See also Nos 13, 14, 99, 106.
