- George Alexander and the Work of the Actor-Manager, a 100,000-word monograph, is the product of 7 years’ work including archival research at Harvard, Rochester and the Billy Rose Theatre Collection in New York. It offers the first scholarly account of Alexander’s working practices and their influence within mainstream theatre. It uses uncatalogued financial records in the Victoria and Albert Museum Theatre and Performance Collections to demonstrate that collaboration with the wider creative and cultural industries - usually associated with West End work by the end of the twentieth century - was in Alexander’s practice evident by the 1890s.
