Description: | Papers relating to the Renaissance Theatre Company, covering the period 1986-1992. The company was founded by the actor and director, Kenneth Branagh, and the administrator, David Parfitt, and began operating under the name 'Renaissance' in 1987. It became one of Britain's major touring companies, taking its productions of Shakespeare on national and international tours, and attracting leading actors, such as Derek Jacobi and Judi Dench, to direct productions in a reaction against the 'director's theatre' of companies such as the RSC. The collection includes material on 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Public Enemy', 'Napoleon', 'Twelfth Night', 'Much Ado About Nothing', 'Hamlet', 'As You Like It', 'Look Back in Anger', 'Napoleon: the American Story', King Lear', A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Uncle Vanya', 'Coriolanus', 'Scenes from a Marriage', 'Travelling Tales'.
