[Paul W Fleming @paulwfleming]

We want a transition as successful as Opera North or Birmingham Royal Ballet. This ain’t it.

The voice of the workforce & unions are absent from this proposal, a proposal which hurts art, artists, & audiences.

Blind welcoming of this vapid plan shows contempt for our workforce.

[the ALPD @the_ALPD]

It is with great sadness that the ALPD heard the news that its co-founder and President, passed away yesterday. Richard, had been the Association’s President for many years. He will be deeply missed by the ALPD and its members, for whom he was a mentor and inspiration.
