Scope & Content:

Prompt copies of plays mostly produced during the Vedrenne-Barker season at The Royal Court Theatre, London; 1904-1907, 1921. Partly printed, partly typewritten with MS. annotations. John E. Vedrenne (b.1867, d.1930), and Harley Granville-Barker (b.1877, d.1946) were joint producers at The Royal Court Theatre from 1904 to 1907. They produced about thirty-two plays, their aim being to have short runs with a varied programme, including Gilbert Murray's translations of Euripides and eleven works by Shaw. The collection includes two plays, Add. 65156 Y, Z produced by Vedrenne alone at The Theatre Royal, Haymarket, 1921. The Vedrenne-Barker season is well documented, including reprints of theatre programmes, in D. MacCarthy, The Court Theatre, 1904-1907 (1907), J. E. Vedrenne, Complimentary Dinner to J. E. Vedrenne and Mr H. Granville Barker (1907), and W. Archer, The Vedrenne-Barker Season, 1904-1905 [1905]. See also C. B. Purdom, Harley Granville Barker [1955], J. McDonald, The 'new drama' 1900-1914 (1986) and Dan H. Laurence (ed.), Bernard Shaw. Collected Letters 1898-1910 (1972) and relevant correspondence between William Archer, dramatic critic, and Harley Granville-Barker in Add. 45290, ff. 33-65v. Purchased from Bertram Rota, 1 Sept. 1986 and incorporated in 1988.
