Hey,
So there are many debates raging on The Guardian's blog at the moment...
This one is a response to David Edgar's article about the Arts Council prioritising street arts above new writing.
We've got a really strong circus and street arts community in Bristol, and a growing new writing community. Be interested to hear people's thoughts on this, particularly as Edgar sites Bristol Old Vic as an example of a theatre which could/may move away from 'narrative theatre'... if it ever re-opens(!)
Is the Arts Council playing catch up with whatever is en vogue?
Is script-based theatre in decline, as suggested by Peter Boyden?
Who are the hot new writers of this generation - people keep quoting Ravenhill and Kane - who are the new writers?
