FUNDING APPEAL
SUSTAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Dear <<First Name>>,
HOW TO DONATE
The past 18 months has proved an exceptional and very productive period for Unfinished Histories, made possible through our Heritage Lottery Funding award which concludes in May. We have created:
- 50 company web pages,
- our Re-Staging Revolutions exhibition, seen at Ovalhouse, Kentish Town Community Centre and currently Camden Local Studies and Archive Centre,
- 6 exhibition-related events: Oval House in the 1960s & 70s, Kate Crutchley Tribute, Theatre Centre readings, Black Theatre panel discussion & staged readings, Alternative Pantos staged readings and an Inter-Action retrospective,
- over 40 new interviews,
- the digitisation of an extensive number of posters, photos, programmes and flyers for our collection and website,
- a series of monthly alternative theatre events at our Bethnal Green office.
Accolades, appreciations, and enthusiasm for what we are achieving come at us by the bucketload as marks of approval, and confirmation that our work of recording and promoting alternative theatre, making it a living experience, giving it its long overdue place in British theatre history by rescuing it from obscurity, is most welcome and widely applauded.

- our website where practitioners can document their alternative theatre work,
- our office with its archive and library,
- our office where posters, photos, leaflets etc can be scanned and lodged with our archive,
- regular alternative theatre events - readings, discussions, performances that re-unite original practitioners and introduce emerging artists and audiences to the work.
