Books by Don Chapman

Don Chapman trained as a journalist and worked for thirty-five years as the theatre critic at the 'Oxford Mail', in addition to acting as the paper's columnist. Whilst working as its arts editor, he embarked upon reconstructing the archives for the Oxford Playhouse, which became his first full-length book, 'Oxford Playhouse: High and Low Drama in a University City' ("A well-documented account", TLS). A graduate of the university, Don has had a long-standing interest in the women's dress movement ever since encountering stories of the Rational Dress Club in the newspaper archives.
