Welcome to the Aggiss, Cowie, Divas Research Archive.

This archive includes a catalogue of all past work, both live, commissioned and screen based.

Select whichever piece you are researching. Each work is followed by references: books, newspaper, journals, essays and articles to support a more detailed personal research. Most University libraries hold back-issues for these purposes. Alternatively, for the smaller or independent newpapers and journals, contact The British Library.

Some references also include film extracts in Quick time. Photographs are also included.

The critical responses we have received over the years are often polarised: from positive and excellent, to the frankly inflammatory. All references have been included in order for you to get a grip on the work, make your own mind up and build a comprehensive overview.
