Title
Material relating to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre on Broad Street
Date
1971 - 2009
Description

Archive material relating to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre on Broad Street which opened in 1971 (known as the New Rep). Holdings include photographs, prompts, programmes, scripts etc. for Main House and Studio/Door productions.

Prompt books and scripts were used by individual actors, directors, crews, and stage managers, and so are marked up in different ways - therefore there are several copies for each production. It is sometimes possible to identify who used which copy as a particular character's lines are often highlighted, and these can then be linked to the appropriate programme.
