| Description | The production Tony Harrison's Kaisers of Carnuntum [first performed June 2 1995 in the Roman ampitheatre of Petronel/Carnuntum, Austria] [script later published by Faber and Faber, 1996] and premiered at the ancient Roman amphitheatre at Carnuntum in Austria [Herbert collaborated with Harrison to create the production].
The file contains: details about the staging/set building for the production; research especially into mosaics and tigers; letters from Herbert to Piero Bordin, 1995, regarding set planning and the building of coliseum models; letters from Fraser Marlow to Herbert, 1995, regarding floor cloth; Herbert's notes for stage planning [typed and handwritten]; and research into materials for stage building. Also of note are postcards from Harrison to Herbert featuring pictures for research use. There is also a pen drawing [presumably] by Herbert looking down onto the stage.
