Terrible news!
My dad works long, hard and lovingly at the Nottingham Arts Theatre. It's a charming little theatre that presents 10 shows a year from the resident theatre group along with various touring productions. As ever in a big city, the opportunity for local / travelling groups to afford a fully equipped theatre is limited. And the Arts Theatre is one such venue, offering both a proper proscenium arched theatre as well as a very funky studio space.
But a funding crisis looms and the theatre now is dangerously close to closing. The Nottingham Evening Post appears not be seizing the opportunity to rally the outraged of Nottingham behind a campaign to save the theatre. So I shall have to settle for leading the movement via my blog.
Any generous benefactors who happen to be reading this should grasp the chance to do something worthy for the future of baby theatres everywhere. Your amateur theatre enthusiasts need you!

Perhaps this is the moment to wind up the Grads and give their money to a good cause.
