The arts in action
Introduced by Humphrey Burton This week:
Culture - Who Needs It?
A Stately Pleasure Dome?
' The theatre is society's debate with itself at flash-point.'
(PETER HALL , Artistic
Director of the National Theatre)
' It is a priority that people should feel that the theatre belongs to them. We ought to respond to the challenge of the social changes that take part around us.'
(GEORGE ROMAN, Artistic
Director of Theatr Clwyd, Mold)
' What we are is a stimulus so that people will start to do their own kind of drama - this is what we're here for fundamentally.'
(SAM SNAPE , Artistic Director of the Grass Roots Theatre Company)
The film examines these claims and looks at these three theatres:
THE NATIONAL THEATRE
THEATR CLWYD, NORTH WALES and the GRASS ROOTS THEATRE COMPANY Commentary spoken by LINDSAY ANDERSON
