Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Society is adopting a ‘remote-AGM’ that will be carried out entirely via email and post. Due to social distancing measures, an in-person AGM is not possible and the Annual Address has also been cancelled.

Members will be issued AGM papers on Wednesday 27th May either by email or post as requested. In addition, the Annual Report and Financial Statement are both available here.

The deadline for registering Matters Arising, Resolutions or Any Other Business is Wednesday 17th June. All correspondence should be addressed to the Hon Sec via contact@str.org.uk or 4 Kings Road, Chalvey, Slough, Berkshire SL1 2PT.

After Wednesday 17th June, the committee will collate all correspondence and issue a response to Membership, addressing any questions in relation to the documents.

On Wednesday 24th June, the Society will announce its new committee members, officers, co-opted committee members and advisers; the winners of the New Scholars’ Prize; as well as making the President’s Address available to members.

Sadly, we have been forced to cancel all future live events; however, the STR monthly newsletter will still continue during the lockdown, the STR website has new articles every week, and there is plenty to look forward to from the STR. We recently announced the Research Awards recipients and the Theatre Book Prize winner will be revealed on Thursday 18th June. Members will soon find their copy of this year’s annual publication making its way to them in the post, as well as the next issue of Theatre Notebook.

If you’d like to join the Society, or need to renew your membership, you can do so on our Join and Renew page here.

Simon Sladen, Chair of the Society
