The Guardian:Composer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's charitable foundation is to fund a new theatre for some of the UK's most socially disadvantaged youngsters.
The youth theatre will be in Inverclyde, Scotland where, long after the demise of its shipbuilding industry, unemployment is at 24%.
Elliott McKelvie, chairman of the Greenock Arts Guild, which is setting up the theatre, said Inverclyde had "deeply-rooted socio-economic problems" and "significant pockets of urban deprivation".
