In support of the CPR, Wales.
In 1932 the BBC World Service began to take shape. By October 2007, Alistair
Darling had increased its current budget by £70m. over three years, enabling
audiences world-wide to have access to "trusted journalism of the highest
standing and increased opportunity for dialogue and debate." The service
has once again been endorsed.
Over thirty years ago, the CPR began to take shape - dialoguing and
debating with some of the world’s leading theatre practitioners, often
bringing them to Wales, and having a disproportionate influence upon the
making and teaching of theatre in the UK, disproportionate to CPR’s size and
personnel.
CPR has remained implacably committed to the ‘world’, hosting one
international conference after another, publishing seminal world texts,
offering workshops of the highest international standard, devising courses
in world theatre. It is one of a handful of such centres on this planet.
CRR is a Welsh World Service for theatre, which Wales, as the UK government
is for the BBC World Service, should feel justifiably proud of.
It is so easy for things to crumble, so difficult to build them up.
