The project: Until well into the nineteenth century, the mid-Wales town of Brecon was one of the most important in the country. It was also a key destination for travelling theatre companies: the Kemble family performed there, as did touring companies headed by John Ward and John Boles Watson, and Sarah Siddons (née Kemble) was born, and performed, in the town. Brecon's theatrical history is rich, significant and under-considered.

This PhD studentship offers the opportunity to explore the town as a theatrical centre between 1650-1850. Scholarship on theatre during this period remains largely focused on London. While the successful candidate will develop this project in her/his own direction, the PhD's core focus will be an exploration of the history of theatre in Brecon and its connection with the changing town. Possible areas of coverage might include: industry; growth; travel; society and social groups; education; religion; town planning. What might a study of theatre production and audiences in Brecon tell us about entertainment in cultural centres outside of London? How did Brecon's resident and tourist audiences engage with touring companies? How did the touring networks that connected Brecon with Bristol, Cheltenham and Wales and the South West operate?

The candidate will undertake research across a range of key primary sources, including the archive of material amassed by Sister Bonaventure Kelleher that is housed in Brecon. A research budget will cover agreed expenses connected with this onsite work in Brecon and other archives.

The candidate will be encouraged to:

• Develop their scholarly profile through academic and non-academic presentations
• Organise a talk for the Brecknock Society, write a piece for the society's newsletter about their research and consider other ways of presenting their research to wider audiences
• Gain teaching experience
• Undertake relevant training at the University of Bristol to support their PhD experience

Applications for full-time or part-time study are welcomed.
