Lord Rix: JISC digitisation project will "save and celebrate theatre history"

A new JISC-funded digital resource which will capture and preserve important resources from the history of theatre is, says Lord Rix, "destined to become a resource of national and international importance." The comments are made in a new podcast which features speeches from the launch of the East London theatre archive earlier this month and exclusive interviews with Lord Rix - the former actor-manager Brian Rix, now Chancellor of the University of East London - and Roland Muldoon, theatre pioneer with the New Variety group at the Hackney Empire
