  The Stage | News | Central and Webber Douglas to merge
Two of Britain’s leading drama schools, Central School of Speech & Drama and the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, are to merge during the next two years, creating the largest facility of its kind in the country.
Central and Webber Douglas were both founded in 1906 - Central at the Royal Albert Hall by Elsie Fogerty and George Benson, Webber Douglas in Paris by Jean de Reszke.
The latter school was eventually brought to Britain in 1926 by Walter Johnson Douglas and Amherst Webber, becoming the Webber Douglas School of Singing and Dramatic Art.
