Joseph Fiennes and Mark Gatiss both called for more arts funding while on the green carpet at the Olivier Awards.
Fiennes told the PA news agency that theatre should not be seen as “an elitist form” because it was “for everybody”.He added: “The National Theatre belongs to everyone, ticket prices … getting that right is so, so important and getting government funding, which is great.” Gatiss agreed, saying: “There’s a lot of sort of negative publicity about this, because people just sort of look at the obvious as it were – it is extremely expensive to see a play in the West End, but the National, for instance, 50% of their tickets are under 50 quid.
