| 1502 | Pat Bendon | Eastern Angles is a fantastic company and its touring policy enables many people in rural areas to enjoy their productions please do not cut their grants. |
| 1503 | Roger Cleeve | This brave company bringing new theatre to village halls typifies the kind of venture support for which The Arts Council was formed, before so many other institutions wormed their way in. It deserves generous support. |
| 1504 | David Jobbins | |
| 1505 | Tom Read | The Arts Council are not acting in the people of this country's interests |
| 1506 | Paul Byrne | It would be a tragedy to see this company fold as it no doubt would without its grant. It has been an inspiration to us in East Anglia and desrves to remain so. |
| 1507 | Anonymous | We need our local touring company to take live theatre out into rural areas --- plus they are a superb company. |
| 1508 | Thea Smiley | The Arts Council needs to rethink this appalling decision or generations will miss out on quality theatre. |
| 1509 | Rosie Gray | The best theatre around! |
| 1510 | Pat Woolhouse | Companies like the Eastern Angles ensure that the theatre is accessible to rural areas. Not everyone is able to get to the theatre companies in larger towns and cities. The Arts Council needs to re-consider this proposed cut immediately. |
| 1511 | grace lewis | a really good group which serves the local VILLAGES EXTREMELY WELL. IT SHOULD NOT GO UNDER!!!! |
| 1512 | Graham Grafton | Arts Council needs to think about what the purpose of theatre is. Giving support nationally at the expense of local activities is wrong. Eastern Angles provides not only entertaining performances, but also does valuable work in exploring the culture and history of East Anglia, stimulating others to do the same. Eastern Angles has been a vital element in the arts of this area for many years, and it would be a seriously retrograde step if it were allowed to fail through this withdrawal of support. Please think carefully about what the consequences of this new 'strategy' (if it may be called that) are. |
| 1513 | Chris and Elspeth Gonin | Eastern Angles offers excellent drama which is essential to the cultural life of East Anglia |
| 1514 | Jenifer Adams | I go to as many of Eastern Angles performances as I can. They are always excellent. |
| 1515 | Anonymous | A complete outrage ! And all to pay for the Olympics because ministers are incompetent financial managers |
| 1516 | Roy Bramwell | |
| 1517 | Nick Keeble | A unique company offering high quality work that never fails to deliver. Telling stories that may otherwise be lost, Eastern Angles deserve their full funding from the Arts Council. |
| 1518 | Lynda and Hugh Bridges | We first saw E.A when they performed in Grundisburgh village hall 30 years ago. They have since gone from strength to strength, taking their performances all over East Anglia. Don't stop them now. SAVE OUR TOURING THEATRE. |

| 1520 | Anonymous | It would be a terrible shame to lose this fantastic company who take their productions to people who would otherwise not be able to see theatre due to their remoteness. |
| 1521 | Margaret P. Owens | Eastern Angles is an important part of the cultural experience in the area, and had done amazing work in the past. the whole family goes every Christmas to their productions.
Also, they inform as well as entertain us about the local history of the area. They are gifted and talented writers,actors and musicians. |
| 1522 | Alison Hargreaves | Ivan Cutting not only does amazing work for the communities in East Anglia, he also employs young designers and other practitioners to promote their talent and skills and to give them an opportunity to work on such innovative and important pieces of drama. It would be a huge loss to so many people if Eastern Angles annual grant is cut. |
| 1523 | Jonathan Seath | I have watched many of Eastern Angles plays over the years and I think that there mission of taking good local drama to local audiences in East Anglia is wonderful and what Arts Council grants should be supporting |
| 1524 | Anonymous | My family have been enjoying Eastern Angles productions for several years and both my son and daughter now have an active interest in the arts. I am sure that many youngsters who have seen Eastern Angles perfomances have also been inspired by the quality and talent of all those involved. We are limited in East Anglia so far as live theatre is concerned and to have access to a company such as Eastern Angles is a great blessing and I hope that the Arts Council will re-consider their decision and allow them to continue bringing enjoyment to the many people who support them. |
| 1525 | yvonne connelly | Arts to the masses, How else are we going to get it in outlying areas, if funding is cut to this degree. It would be sorely missed. |
| 1526 | Jill Bryce | As a touring company the Eastern Angles ensures theatre is a truely inclusive event for the diversest of audiences - if the Arts Council funding is cut so is the accessibility. |
| 1527 | Anonymous | It is scurrilous for the Arts Council to target Eastern Angles of all groups to deprive them of funds which will greatly curtail their ability to provide the area of such an enormously valuable service to all the community. |

| 1531 | Anonymous | Eastern Angles is the best small theatre co I have ever seen. It is disgusting that such talent and culture is having it's funding slashed! |
| 1532 | a.pitt | |
| 1533 | David Allan | |
| 1534 | Alister Gourlay | One hundred pupils from this School have - each year for the past fifteen - revelled in the magic of live theatre as performed by Eastern Angles. The shows have never been anything less that magnificent - full of artistic invention and performed by actors of immense ingenuity and talent.
the heritage theatre performed by Eastern Angles has also been superb - Suffolk Tales about Margaret Catchpole, Beowolf and the Wuffings among them.
Rural areas need excellence in theatre as well as urban areas. |
| 1535 | Alister Gourlay | Eastern Angles is one of the GREAT treasures of Suffolk - they even do missionary work in places like Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.
The Arts Council are not only mean-minded, they are short-sighted.
Reverse these cuts immediately. |
| 1536 | robert paul brothwell | E. Angles must continue as the best troup for the delivery of top quality productions in the region. We would not have seen so many productions if it were not for their efforts traveling to different venues with exellent regional plays. Too good to lose |
| 1537 | Anonymous | Please don't do this it's the only decent theatre around here. |

| 1541 | Morvyth Seely | Great news re U turn and regaining of some of the vital funding needed to keep Eastern Angles on the road and on the boards. |
| 1542 | jjeannette Whiting | |

| 1544 | Anonymous | Eastern Angles have EARNED the support they have enjoyed. To take away that support is unjust and discriminatory. |
| 1545 | des fisher | The Arts Council? A bunch of knobheads. |
| 1546 | jinnie schiele | |
| 1547 | anthea stone | I feel that this company is extremely important to the local area in terms of distrubing widely information via theatre about the history of the local area, additionally they introduce theatre to a wide range of people . |
