Unfinished Histories

This is a list of some of the individuals active in alternative theatre and includes performers, directors, writers, designers, musicians amongst others. It is by no means definitive and is largely drawn from those individuals named in the interviews conducted so far, though not exclusively so. Long-term we hope to create pages for each person or link to material elsewhere on the web. If you have names and information to contribute please contact us.

Use the Search box on Right to find where on the site and by which interviewee/s they are mentioned.

At the end of this page is an index of other influential individuals mentioned in the interviews.
