Gabrielle Enthoven kickstarted the largest theatrical archive in the UK, now at the V&A. Without her, theatre studies might not exist as we know it.
The Enthoven Unboxed exhibition celebrates her collection of 80,000 artefacts, highlighting the evolution of theatre through important historical items and performances.
The portrait of Enthoven by Ethel Wright, discovered in 2022, symbolically opens the exhibition, illustrating her connection to both art and social movements.
Enthoven's life intertwined with theatre and activism; she supported the queer scene in London and helped shape the early theatrical landscape.
