The Jocelyn Herbert lecture series was established at the National Theatre in collaboration with University of the Arts London with a grant from the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation to provide funding for ten lectures. The aims of the lectures are to increase public awareness of a largely invisible discipline within an otherwise closely monitored activity, to increase the status of the discipline within the academic environment and to honour Herbert (1917-2003) for her role in revolutionising the look and feel of post-war British theatre.The Jocelyn Herbert Archive is now housed at the National Theatre Archive and is open to all by appointment.
