As his play Best Of Enemies debuts in London's West End, British playwright and TV writer James Graham tells Sky News that cuts to the theatre industry will be felt across the world of entertainment.
Sunday 27 November 2022 03:07, UKCould your favourite Netflix series be impacted by funding cuts to the theatre industry? Could a reduction in investment into opera really affect franchises such as Star Wars?
It's something most people don't think about when they read about funding cuts to the arts, warns top British playwright James Graham - but they should. Graham, whose plays include the Tony-nominated Ink, Privacy, and Quiz - about the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? coughing scandal, which he turned into a TV series in 2020 - says recent cuts in London by Arts Council England, combined with the cost of living crisis, will have a huge impact on the entertainment industry's"pipeline".
"Very quickly, I think in the next 18 months, two years, the depletion and the diminishment of arts across television, theatre, music, is going to be really impactful. And it's frustrating." Earlier in November, Arts Council England announced a £43.5m"levelling up" investment outside London to back"art, culture, and creativity for more people in more places, across the country".
