{"value"=>"<p>Edward Gordon Craig was a theatrical producer, stage designer and author of many publications on the theater. He was the son of the actress, Ellen Terry, and an architect who turned to theater design, Edward William Godwin.</p> <p>Craig met the American dancer Isadora Duncan (1878-1927) in Berlin in 1904. Their love affair resulted in a daughter, Deidre, who was Duncan's first child and who was drowned accidently in Paris in 1913. The affair was over by 1907 but they continued to correspond. Craig kept “notes” on Duncan (whom he occasionally called “Topsy”) to which he continued to add all of his life.</p> <p>Martin Fallas Shaw (1875-1958) was an English composer and director of music. He founded, with Craig, and conducted the Purcell Operatic Society in 1899. He toured as music director for Duncan in Germany, Holland, Denmark and Sweden in 1906-1908.</p>"}
