Irving, Laurence Henry Forster (1897–1988), English stage designer and theatre historian, son of H. B.
Irving, who in 1951 published the definitive biography of his grandfather,
Henry Irving: The Actor and his World, continuing the story of the Irving family in
The Successors (1967) and
The Precarious Crust (1971). As artist and scenic designer he was responsible for the décor of many London productions, including
Priestley's The Good Companions (1931) and
I Have Been Here Before (1937) and T. S.
Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral (1935). He designed Michael
Redgrave's Hamlet at the
Old Vic in 1950 and later worked for John
Clements (including
Ibsen's The Wild Duck, 1955) and Donald
Wolfit. He was also the first chairman of the British Theatre Museum Association.
