Three options below the search field here allow you to ask for a complete phrase to be found, or to expand the search into the notes and linked references that each holding contains. 

Some search tips:

People:

• Use a surname to find a person - the full name will find entries containing both the first name and/or the second name. Full names cannot be found as a 'complete phrase'.
• To find the productions that an individual has been involved with, search for that person, then go to the 'productions' section in their database entry

Productions/films:

• It can help reduce search results by typing the name of the play you are looking for productions of and clicking 'complete phrase'.
• You can find productions by venue by searching the venue name and filtering results to 'venue'. Then go to the 'productions' section in the database entry for that venue
