==Biography==
Bourchier was born in Speen, Berkshire, England. He was the only son of Fanny (née Farr) and Captain Charles John Bourchier.〔Sharp, Robert. ("Bourchier, Arthur (1863–1927)", ) ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, October 2006, accessed 28 October 2008〕 He was educated at Eton, where he played cricket, and at Oxford University, chiefly at Christ Church. At Oxford he acted with an amateur group called the Philothespian Society, with whom he played Shylock in ''The Merchant of Venice''. With the encouragement of the Vice-Chancellor, Benjamin Jowett, Bourchier founded the Oxford University Dramatic Society (OUDS), which succeeded the Philothespians.〔("Bourchier, Arthur", ) ''Who Was Who'', A & C Black, 1920–2007, online edn, Oxford University Press, December 2007, accessed 28 Oct 2008〕 With the OUDS, Bourchier played Hotspur, Falstaff, Feste, Thanatos (in ''Alcestis''), and Brutus to the Caesar of H. B. Irving.〔〔''The Times'', 15 September 1927, p. 14〕
