Theatre Staff Sacked As Part Of Funding Rescue

Kent’s Margate Theatre Royal’s “funders have supplied the struggling theatre with a rescue package, including increased subsidy of £210,000 in the first year. However, as part of the deal, the current team, including long-standing general manager Michael Wheatley-Ward, will be axed and the venue’s programming will be changed to include more participatory and education work, as well as music, dance and film.”
