In 1974, a committee was established to explore various facets of professional drama training in Britain. This report of the committee to the sponsoring foundation includes information on background and on apparent trends in employment available for people involved in theatre and allied fields; it describes the existing system of drama training; it discusses the need for drama training, what drama training should entail, and the problems and difficulties in present training; it considers the various choices open to drama schools, to the profession, and to public bodies; and it presents recommendations. Appendixes include lists of those who gave evidence to the committee, graduate employment statistics, a list of drama training institutions, and information on financing. (JM)
