Today there's news of an extra £250,000 top up for this place, on top of its annual increased grants from the Arts Council. That's £1.75 million in hand outs in the last four years. In February 2011 I wrote "No doubt there will be appeals for more public money to be spent on this place and no doubt more will be spent." Well I told you so ... Seems there's no-one with the balls to shut this place down, (it should never have been built in the first place!) especially not now there's the city of culture creeping closer.
I take it Hull Truck is the name of the company that bought the branding rights. Very tacky.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that but Hull Truck is considered to be 'iconic' and therefore politically untouchable.
DeleteWhat is it?
ReplyDeleteIt's a loss making theatre.
