RSC to cut workforce by 11% as it faces ‘perilous situation’
Royal Shakespeare Company | The Guardian: The Royal Shakespeare Company has defended plans to reduce its workforce by 11% and merge its costume departments by saying the proposal will ensure it is “match fit” as it faces a “perilous situation”.
Daniel Evans, the RSC’s joint artistic director, told the Guardian the reduction in staff numbers could save £2.8m a year, as the organisation attempts to address a shortfall thought to be between £5m and £6m.

Again, this problem could easily be solved with more public funding for the arts. Providing millions of people with more jobs. Yet it seems our government is continually more interested in cutting it. Making people lose their jobs. Actually damaging the market more and more. I've never understood the hatred. If there are more theaters. There's more people going to them. More people spending money, which is good for an economy. It seems the only reason people want to defund them. Is because they don't support their agenda. Which is such a disappointing thing to see. You see many public funding central countries like China. be able to create such amazing things. Because they understand the potential of funding the arts. They understand that the arts are critical forms of entertainment and they are something that people can easily spend their money on. Again totally stupid to see people defunding them It serves zero purpose.
