Convener: ANDREW WHYMENT

Participants: LOOTIE JOHANSEN-BIBBY, ELLIE GRIFFITHS, BEELI HILLMAN, MATT BURMAN, MATT TRUEMAN, CLIVE MOORE, SAM PALLY, GREG MCCLAREN, EMMA BERNARD, DAN COPELAND

Summary of discussion, conclusions and/or recommendations: 

We discussed the value of West End theatre. Some feel that it is art created for the wrong reasons; producer-led. Some feel that it is doing exactly what more theatre should do; engaging audiences in a way that makes people see theatre in the same light as music or football.
