Alan Brodie

A theatrical journey from ‘north of the border’ to Broadway.

A rare glimpse into the world of the literary agent with Glasgow born Alan Brodie who represents some of the most successful contemporary writers including Emma Rice, Tim Firth of Calendar Girls fame, and David Edgar.  He also represents authors’ estates including many of the greatest names in 20th century drama, such as Terence Rattigan and Noel Coward.

Steeped in theatre through his parents involvement in the reknown Glasgow jewish theatre group – the Avrom Greenbaum Players – Alan left the world of law to head to London to work for literary agent Michael Imison.

In 1997 he launched his own agency Alan Brodie Representation Ltd. He is Chair of The Noël Coward Foundation, a Trustee of Denville Hall, the retirement home for members of the theatrical and entertainment industries and an Ambassador for Acting For Others. He was a Trustee of Chichester Festival Theatre for 11 years.

Alan was our guide at the TOTH outing to the Noel Coward exhibition at the Guildhall Gallery some five years ago and it is wonderful he will be discussing his role in managing his roster of clients and sharing more of his theatrical stories with us in Muswell Hill.
