| Description | Files of general press releases and individual productions kept by the Northcott Theatre Press Office.
The contents of the files varies by decade with files from the 1970's usually containing just usually just press releases, a programme and photocopied cuttings. Files from the 1980's often include mock ups of marketing material, draft press releases, press lists, photographs, correspondence and other material relating to promotional events. From the 1990's the files contain primarily photos & contact sheets [this run appears similar to EUL MS 348/PROD/PHOT/2 and may fill gaps in this series].
The files may also contain correspondence regarding sponsorship & merchandising, drafts of promotional material, and performers cvs/ biographies, set/ costume designs, and letters from audience members. The date provided is taken from the original folders and mostly represents the date span of the run/ tour.
Content note: Some Northcott Theatre productions contained offensive historical language/ viewpoints, cultural stereotypes and imagery that may be uncomfortable for researchers to view. This includes the use of racial/ homophobic/ableist slurs, the portrayal of enslaved people, the use of blackface and 'Gollywog' dolls. |
