With ticket prices continuing to increase in both West-End and regional theatre, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for people on low income to experience going to the theatre and viewing live art and entertainment. This growing problem has been heavily documented in articles in the Stage newspaper and the Independent newspaper in more recent times. Yet, despite the warning signs little seems to being done to tackle he problem and the risk of isolating the working class from attending the theatre is becoming more a common trend in our society and does not seem to be disappearing.

​

What are we posing to do?

Alfie James Productions will be using our 2019 season to explore ways in which we can make theatre more accessible to the working class and those becoming isolated from the theatre and from experiencing live art. 

​

We hope to identify ways in which we can encourage people on a low income to engage in theatre performances. (Particularly families, lone parents and the elderly)

​

What are we going explore?

-The theatre as a venue. Can theatre be created anywhere?

-The cost of creating a live performance: Does theatre have to be reliant on special effects? 

-The cost of ticket prices?

-The Marketing strategy: How can we engage families on a low income? How can we encourage Lone parents to bring their children? How can we make theatre accessible for the elderly?
