drama (15 minutes)
http://youtu.be/gTZPR5Ce-eQ
In total the ShaLT Films page at http://shalt.org.uk/films
now has five-and-a-half hours of video footage comprising
short documentaries, performed scenes from plays, and research
interviews, all of which may be freely reused in anyone's
teaching or research.
The project's investigators, myself and Andrew Gurr,
would like especially to thank the theatre historians
who contributed to the project by agreeing to be
interviewed and/or giving a public talk at the Victoria
& Albert Museum this summer. They are:
Martin Butler
Ralph Alan Cohen
Michael Dobson
Jean E. Howard
Grace Ioppolo
Farah Karim-Cooper
Andy Kesson
Lucy Munro
Julie Sanders
Tiffany Stern
Gary Taylor
Joanne Tompkins
Martin White
Peter Womack
At a time when academics are under increasing pressure
to concentrate on activities that have a measurable
economic impact it was a privilege to receive the
free contributions of these leaders of our subject
discipline. It was also an education in itself. Any
omissions, errors, or offence inadvertently given are
my responsibility.
Gabriel Egan
Principal Investigator, ShaLT
