Journey's Beginning The Gateway Theatre Building and Company, 1884-1965

The Gateway Theatre Company between 1953 and 1965 was a major force in developing modern Scottish theatre, moving in 1965 to become the Royal Lyceum Theatre Company. This book provides authoritative brief histories of the building and the company incorporating much original research, an essay on the links between the theatre and the Church of Scotland (its landlord post second world war), and appreciations of two leading figures in the operation of the theatre and the company. These are Sadie Aitken, 'the Caledonian Lilian Bayliss' (a theatrical legend), and Robert Kemp (playwright and a key figure in post war theatre).Brown, Ian is the author of 'Journey's Beginning The Gateway Theatre Building and Company, 1884-1965', published 2004 under ISBN 9781841501086 and ISBN 1841501085.
