The Gateway Theatre Company between 1953 and 1965 was a major force
in developing modern Scottish theatre, moving in 1965 to become the
Royal Lyceum Theatre Company. The Gateway Theatre and its company
were therefore highly influential in the development of theatre in
Scotland. They encouraged new writing and young performers to
establish a vibrant contemporary tradition of Scottish theatre in a
manner complementary to, and at times more important than, that of
its sister theatre, the Citizens in Glasgow. Both theatre building
and company are regarded with enormous affection and respect. This
book provides authoritative brief histories of the building and the
company incorporating much original research, an essay on the links
between the theatre and the Church of Scotland (its landlord post
second world war), and appreciations of two leading figures in the
operation of the theatre and the company. These are Sadie Aitken,
'the Caledonian Lilian Bayliss' (a theatrical legend), and Robert
Kemp (playwright and a key figure in post war theatre).
