An enquiry into
' the disease of Festivalitls ' by CLIVE BARKER
Lecturer in Drama at the University of Birmingham.
Arts festivals have proliferated in recent years. What are the reasons for this? Why hold festivals? Who wants a festival? What makes a festival? Does it pay? And is the main responsibility to the arts or to the community?
Clive Barker puts these questions to various festival directors, including
John CALDER. PETER DIAMAND
LORD HAREWOOD. IAN HUNTER
JOHN MANDUELL. CLIVE WILSON and others closely concerned with particular festivals Produced by Tony Gould
