Michael Victor Codron was born on 8 June 1930. He began his theatrical career as an assistant to Jack Hylton who then recommended him to produce Salad Days . His first show as an independent producer was Ring for Catty (1956) and he soon acquired a reputation for championing new writers, most famously producing the first production of Harold Pinter 's The Birthday Party at the Hammersmith Lyric in 1958. He went on to produce Joe Orton 's Entertaining Mr Sloane and Pinter's The Caretaker and thus became embroiled in the 'Dirty Plays' controversy in which the immensely powerful producer and theatre owner Emile Littler condemned Codron and the newly formed RSC (among others) of violating the sanctity of the British stage.

Codron has consistently championed playwrights and plays over musicals and was without rival as a producer of straight commercial plays from the 1970s until the 1990s: among the playwrights he is most often associated with are Alan Ayckbourn, Michael Frayn, Simon Gray and Charles Wood.

Tom Stoppard Papers

Title: Tom Stoppard Papers

The Stoppard papers consist of typescripts, holograph manuscripts, computer printouts, page proofs, galley proofs, printed pages, theatre programs, photographs, photographic negatives, advertising material, clippings of articles and reviews, correspondence, dust jackets, and watercolor sketches by unknown artists, all ranging in date from 1939 to 2000 (bulk 19760-2000). Nearly all of Stoppard's major plays, screenplays, teleplays, and radio plays are represented in some form, along with many of his lesser-known works and some that were never produced. Stoppard's short stories are not well documented in the collection, although his only novel, LORD MALQUIST AND MR. MOON, is represented. For many works, material from first or early drafts through various revisions, production, further revisions, and publication are present. Page proofs, galleys, and typesetting copy typescripts show changes made in subsequent editions after the initial publication of a work. Correspondence in the collection relates almost exclusively to Stoppard's career and is primarily incoming correspondence. Significant correspondents include Ed Berman, Dirk Bogarde, John Boorman, Noel Carr, Michael Codron, Guy Dumur, Kenneth Ewing, Faber and Faber, Lady Antonia Fraser, Michael Frayn, David Hare, Glynn Boyd Harte, Michael Horovitz, Ilya Levin, Bryan Magee, Trevor Nunn, Laurence Olivier, Harold Pinter, Ned Sherrin, Anthony C.H. Smith, and Kenneth Tynan. Materials relating to Stoppard's involvement in human rights and charitable organizations are also present, as are photographs and personal memorabilia.
