We're scared, so we are doing this.

• This blog has been created in the face of antagonism from management.
• It has been created from the organs of a theatre which puts on inspiring and aesthetically brilliant productions about peoples' uprisings
• It has been created from a theatre that says 'it's a big world in here', but puts the weakest people in that world against the wall at the easiest opportunity.
• The blog has been created in response to passive aggressive vocal violence from management.
• It's been created through the voice of a team of staff who represent one of the most commercially successful 'off-west-end' theatres in London.
• It has been created to counteract and advocate oppressive words.
• It has been created to give a voice to people in the team who may not be confident in speaking to higher powers.
• It has been made to give a platform to a team who need a platform, within an institution which would pride itself on giving access to that platform to wider audiences across the boroughs it resides in.
• It's been made by and for people who love their jobs at Young Vic and are scared that these jobs are about to be taken away from them.
• It's been made to give a megaphone to the silence which will be the lasting affect to what I fear is about to happen.
