Genuine question for family friendly theatre makers.
I get the impression that the funded arts sector requires one outcome of going to the theatre is to learn something.
Or have a big world concept reaffirmed.
Is this the only thing theatre and culture should be?

Sadly , post lockdown - live shows are becoming less and less viable for so many performers - I have many friends , critically revered and fabulous , who are seeing huge drops in their ability to sell - the mainstream dominates - the arenas lap up money and numbers
We always try to get Nine Lessons shows beyond London - it is never profitable but we hope it makes it accessible for others - This year is CARDIFF - but no one seems to want to come - so we will pull it next week if we see that it is going to lose us too much money
