The Guardian view on Adolescence cleaning up at the Emmys: the importance of grassroots drama training
Comment piece
“
Drama schools across the UK are in crisis. For the first time since it opened in 1946, Bristol Old Vic theatre school will not be welcoming undergraduate students this term. The Rose Bruford College in Sidcup, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, has reported financial difficulties. The college gave a chance to Gary Oldman, who returns next week in the hit series Slow Horses. He went from working in an abattoir (among various odd jobs) to winning an Oscar for his performance as Winston Churchill. Other leading drama schools have closed completely. According to Campaign for the Arts, the number of students taking drama at GSCE and A-level has plummeted since 2010.
