Dominic Dromgoole of The Globe: theatre forgets what it’s there for

Times Online: "One of the weirdest parts of the recent Arts Council fandango, when it somehow managed to turn a rise in overall funding into a spectacular own goal, was its attack on the Northcott theatre, in Exeter. This place has long been treasured by its own audience, by the artists who work there and by the touring companies who visit. Capacity houses fill it, and the audience has been nurtured by a diverse and intriguing body of work into being one of the most shrewd, catholic and generous congregations any company could wish to play to."
