'Theatre, if it is to claim relevance, must confront these systemic inequalities head-on. Without urgent action, working-class actors, writers & audiences will continue to disappear from the industry. Plays will go unwritten, performances unseen...'
Ardent Theatre Company have said that Theatre will become a “hollowed-out, elitist sector” without action to address the lack of working-class representation in the industry.
