<p>When John Sumner arrived in Melbourne in 1952, there was no professional drama company in Australia. Audiences had to rely on rare visits from overseas touring companies, or on amateur productions. The young Sumner, armed with references from Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quayle, had come out to manage the Union theatre at the University of Melbourne. Within 18 months he had started the Union Theatre Repertory Company, and over the following decades gradually built the fledgling venture into the nation's largest and most successful professional company, the Melbourne Theatre Company.</p>
