Description: | The Programme Collection includes published season brochures and programmes for productions from 1879 onwards, including those for all Benson Company seasons at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre (1886-1916), and for the Stratford company's tours throughout the world. Since the foundation of the Royal Shakespeare Company the collection has included season booking leaflets and programmes from all the company's work in Stratford-upon-Avon, London(Aldwych, Warehouse, Barbican, Pit, etc.) and on tour in the UK and overseas. The collection also includes programmes for winter season productions and other events at the theatres in Stratford, including the Swan and The Other Place, and for World Theatre Season productions (1964-1973, 1975) at the Aldwych Theatre. Before 1990 a copy of each leaflets, programme and related ephemera were inserted into a Theatre Records volume at the appropriate date. For some cast lists and other ephemeral items, of which only a single copy was archived, a Theatre Records volume was created and they were not placed into the RSC Programmes Collection boxes.; There is a Library catalogue available. Some material is also listed separately.
