The theatrical entrepreneurial organisation Edgley International Pty Ltd, has its origins in Edgley & Dawe, which was established in the mid-1920s. Eric Edgley and his brother Clem Dawe, born Eric and Clem White, were invited to Australia by J.C. Williamson Ltd. in 1920 to star in the pantomime Sinbad the Sailor at the King's Theatre, Melbourne. The subsequent success of this production saw their families join them in Australia and the establishment of Edgley & Dawe. Edgley International's long-term involvement with Russian dance ensembles began during the early 1960s. An initial buying trip to Moscow in 1960 saw the beginning of a relationship with the Russian Ministry of Culture, which enabled Edgley, under the name Edgley & Dawe Attractions, to import an ensemble from the Bolshoi Ballet in 1962. In 1967 at the age of 23 Michael Edgley took over management of the company following the death of Eric Edgley. The next year, he presented his first show, a Moscow Circus tour. Edgley International continued to tour the Moscow Circus and other theatrical productions until the 2000s, and has broadened its interests from theatrical management to encompass interests in the film industry, sporting teams and venue management
