Endowed National Theatre Plan Outlined for England and America
A detailed proposal by Messrs Archer and Barker argues for a funded national theatre in England, with a donor backed site and building, a guarantee fund, a qualified director, and a modern repertory. It envisions a 66‑member company, diverse salaries, pensions, and a reading committee to select plays, while urging a transatlantic adaptation to fit major U.S. cities.
