John Risebero
Producer, Director and Designer for Antic Disposition
This wonderful, well-designed resource of words, images and video is put together by the National Theatre, providing a fascinating glimpse into the creation of some of its productions. Although intended for young people as an educational tool, its just as fascinating to those of us already making a career in the theatre industry.
This US site is a great source of all the latest news and listings for theatre productions on both sides of the Atlantic together with an ever-growing collection of interviews and features. The site also publishes weekly individual Broadway show grosses, which makes intriguing if slightly scary reading for all theatre producers.
An amazing, madcap site put together by costume designer Tara Maginnis, providing an enormous range of images, articles and links on the history and design of costume from prehistoric times up to the modern day. An invaluable tool for last-minute research.

Shakespeares complete works are published on this site, which also provides a powerful search facility, allowing you to find quotes from particular plays, containing individual words, spoken by certain characters, and even written in certain years.
5. http://www.anticdisposition.co.uk
Our very own site, which is a record of all of the shows weve produced. Its primary focus at the moment is our revival of Oscar Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest at Jermyn Street Theatre in London. Visit the site for details of how to book!
