@domcavendish For the record, this quote is from someone who worked at the theatre in the 1990s and who does not have any current involvement in the running or management of the theatre. We would like to make it clear that the Finborough's board and staff disagree strongly with these views.

"I don’t think I’d have been a playwright without it.” @mrJamesGraham and more talk to @domcavendish about working at the Finborough Theatre, which turned 40 years old yesterday, and why its future is so important for UK theatre: @TeleTheatre #Finborough40

Why the history of this tiny venue contains the secret to theatreland's survival

The success of grassroots fringe venues like the Finborough – which turns 40 this week – could offer a roadmap for post-lockdown recovery
