1351 Maria WarrenI really enjoy Eastern Angles productions, particularly the Christmas production. They are always very popular and always appear to be full. For many older people, an evening at Eastern Angles is particularly enjoyable, as many films etc are not suitable for that age group.
1352 FarrellGood luck
1353 C HerbertAppalled at the proposal The Arts Council does not get enough anyway.
1354 Janet PickettEastern Angles present brilliant, original productions and take them out to the rural isolated communities in East Anglia. Its not just Londoners and other City Dwellers who love the Arts and Theatre. Too often money goes to urban areas.
1355 Pat TannerDisgraceful!!!!!!!!!!!!
1356 Richard WattsThe strength of Eastern Angles is a community based theatre rooted in the history, myths and stories of East Anglia which has a distinctive rural heritage. The case given for the funding cut completely misses the point about EA.
1357 AnonymousWe have seen many Eastern Angles productions and have always been very impressed and enjoyed the plays. I think the concept of the theatre going out into the community is important and for this reason as well as the quality of the Eastern Angles productions it is vital they receive the appropriate funding to continue.
1358 Pam KirbyIt is most unfair that funding is being taken away from theatres such as Eastern Angles, which provide high quality productions to rural communities. Too long rural communities have had to play the poor relation to major connurbations who already have a plethora of choice regarding the Arts. The possible loss of facilties such as Eastern Angles will have a devasting effect across East Anglia.
1359 Monica BeggI have always enjoyed the Eastern Angles productions since coming to live in the area 17 years ago. I have also lived in London and enjoyed the West End theatre and feell that the quality and standard of Eastern Angles productions easily matches those of the West End theatres.
1360 Danny BeggLove the productions and would hate to see cuts. A quality regional theatre company which should be supported.
1361 Mrs J A MannHow does this fit with a flyer I saw today in the local library asking for consultation on amateur arts so that it could be decided how best arts could be supported!
1362 Chris & John RodgersThis theatre company is essential to bring live theatre to those unable to attend town or city venues. No-one else does it as well as Eastern Angles and we should show our appreciation by funding them properly!
1363 AnonymousEastern angles are always a sell out, bringing their productions into the rural community measn that they get to people who would not normally get to see theatre productions because they can't travel. Their home growns scripts are excellent.
1364 Mr Paul LastThis is a fantastic company who have in the past year's brought theatre to the local community they deserve an increase in funding not cut backs
1365 Christopher Sadler
1366 Janet RutterfordA travesty! This company is essential to those of us in East Anglia who love the theatre but are unable to travel far. The recent production is a shining example of why this must not happen!

1370 bryan duncanWithout the means, time or money to visit major cities (London) to see quality shows/plays, etc, Eastern Angles provide an importtant service to rural areas and it would be a great pity if a small amount of funding - in conparrison to the vast sums wasted on stupid projects (brick walls and un-made beds in various art galleries, for instance), could not be continued for such a worthy cause.
1371 joe chandlerI have just attended 'Crampons of Fear' at the Seckford Theatre. Some of the kids I teach were there and were enthralled by the wit, energy and engagement with the audience that the cast demonstrated. I am not quite sure what the Arts Council is for if it thinks that what this company achieves is not worth continuing to fund. Joe Chandler, History teacher .
1372 E TalbottI have really enjoyed Eastern Angles productions at the theatre and in village venues. My daughter has been along from a very early age and this has helped to foster her great interest in the theatre. The productions appeal to all generations and it would be a great loss to have these taken away or reduced.
1373 Philip KeddellThis is a must save situation as they are offering so much to the community. Philip Keddell Editor Crab Line Papers Ltd

1375 Sally A M WilliamsIt will be a crime if the budget to EA is cut. This is a successful, rural based theatre company and deserves to be supported. Theatre is not just important to those who can get to the towns, it is important to everyone!

1383 Christine BarnettI am appalled to hear about the cuts in funding. It is agreat company doing afantastic jo b covering a huge area.
1384 Mrs Anne HubbardIt seems unbelievable that such an enterprising, innovative organisation should be treated in this way. Eastern Angles provides superb entertainment for all ages and tastes in venues that are accessible to all.
1385 ken millieoutrageous!!!!!

1387 Mr & Mrs P L LancasterThis is a wonderful company, which deserves support for its unusual role in taking small productions with East Anglian themes round this part of the country.

1389 Elizabeth BrackenI have seen many Eastern Angles productions over the last 25 years. As someone who was born in Norfolk and lived in Norfolk and Suffolk for much of my life, it has been a joy and a privilege to find my own regional identity expressed through their productions. They combine grass roots venues with high quality work, as a glance at their tour list and a visit to one of their productions immediately reveals. It is hard to believe the company is being threatened with cuts of this magnitude. Supporting work like theirs should be what the Arts Council is all about!
1390 Dorothy Taylor
1391 NellyEastern Angles brings professional and powerful theatre in rural areas where theatre wouldn't get without touring companies as dedicated as them. It would ba a real shame to lose them.
1392 SarahWe love the Eastern Angles! They appeal to all age groups, bring great, innovative, locally inspired theatre to rural areas and make us laugh our socks off with their Christmas Show every year.
1393 Di Carson
1394 Hilary Prior
1395 Helen CanziniA successful,local theatre group which visits parts of East Anglia that do not usually have access to live performances should be supported and encouraged - not have a budget cut.
1396 Stella Macpherson
1397 Dr.Matthew & Audrey LawfieldWe have seen many thought- provoking and moving , EA productions in Haverhill over the last 20 years and have been most impressed by the professionalism of the entire team.These cuts would be a disaster.
1398 Sarah-Jane Firman
1399 Gerry MairSaw Crampons of Fear in Woodbridge last night. It was tremendous. I would hate to think that Eastern Angles couldn't visit this area because of funding cuts.
