The Common Stream review by Rowland Parker
A sharp appraisal of Rowland Parker’s The Common Stream, tracing Foxton village history over 2000 years.

Britain Theatre Faces Full Collapse Amid Inflation Crisis
Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company warns it is near bankruptcy as inflation drives up costs for all 100 regional theaters.

RSC plans cuts at Stratford and Aldwych to survive, fearing closure without greater government grants.
