Samuel West - anti-cuts march and Observer letter
Sam took part in yesterday's anti-cuts march in London with Equity and UK Uncut (the Guardian, Sam's Twitter @exitthelemming). In Hyde Park, he made a speech about the detrimental consequences of cuts to the arts (@exitthelemming 1|2, the Guardian, Tom Roper, video by Claire Wyatt). He also performed an excerpt from The Voysey Inheritance by Harley Granville Barker with his father Timothy West, on Oxford Street (@exitthelemming, a picture of Sam and Timothy by Michael Dennis).
The Guardian has a quote from Sam about the social effects of theatre:
Two weeks ago, Peter Capaldi, Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Sam, among many others, signed a letter to the Observer about cuts to arts funding (via the Guardian). A press release from Equity has statements from several of the letter's signatories, and details about cuts to national and local funding.
The Guardian has a quote from Sam about the social effects of theatre:
"Theatre is not just for the rich and subsidy keeps tickets cheap. Quite aside from the huge financial return the country gets for any money invested, the arts are what make us civilised. Sitting alongside people in a theatre who may be poor or may be rich is a great democratic institution."

"Hayley Atwell said she hoped the release of summer blockbuster “Captain America,” in which she plays the superhero’s girlfriend, would bring more opportunities in film and fashion. “I would love to do a campaign,” she enthused. “Designing would be amazing as well.” She declined to comment on rumors she is joining Baz Luhrmann’s planned 3D remake of “The Great Gatsby,” featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. “That would be incredible. I know that the script is being worked on at the moment so it’s in the very early stages,” Atwell said.
Ruth Wilson, meanwhile, said she’s set to play the title role of “Anna Christie” opposite Jude law at London’s Donmar Theater, with rehearsals starting in June."
