Hampstead Theatre's statement in response to the Arts Council England decision

Hampstead Theatre is disappointed and saddened by Arts Council England’s decision to cut the theatre’s funding.

We will now consider how best to ensure the future of a company which nurtures and supports so many writers and which has for so long been an essential part of British theatre. In the meantime, our current programme of new plays will continue as announced and we thank all our supporters for their ongoing commitment to our work.
