40 years of trying to prove video games are art, and this heap just pushes the narrative of games are toys by disregarding the writers that brought the game to life. Imagine making a King's Quest or Phasmagoria movie and instead of crediting Roberta Williams or the rest of the original team, it just reads in the credits "Special Thanks to Activision and Microsoft"
As an upcoming artist whom was greatly inspired by the work Larry, Will and Graham had crafted together myself, to see that they (along with many, MANY others in this industry - whom many go unseen) are not credited for their part is beyond disgusting. To put it simply: this film wouldn’t be here without them creating that foundation; please give them the credits they rightfully deserve. You are profiting off of THEIR hard work, Sony. Creators FIRST.
The theatre is essential for Cannock and the local area .... There is no where else for people to go for the entertainment that is provided here.
It's the lifeblood for the community and local area, taking it away will mean that people will no longer be able to go and see any entertainment
As an actor and an audience member like so many all over the world, destroying theatres means someone somewhere decides to stop feeding the soul of its population. Live arts feed the soul. To starve a local population of theatres is to deliberately kill creativity. Without creativity we shrivel.
The arts are vitally important to communities and to general wellbeing. Yet another example of the hypocrisy prevalent in local and national government in paying lip service to mental health issues while cutting the very things that could improve the sense of connection and happiness that being involved in the joy of the arts and community life brings.
I'm a local drama student, and every year we do a show at the prince of Wales. Many of the people I partake in stage school with want to purse ot as a job, myself included, by closing down the prince of Wales, the people in this community who love drama could possibly have a door close, as this is one of the best options for performance in the area, it's absurd to think that the council would shut down such a big outlet that is so important to so many. We need to stop this.
Cannock desperately needs the theatre to remain in it's current form. It provides a wide variety of entertainment and opportunities for local people of all ages to perform. My great niece is a member of a local musical society that put on performances there twice yearly. They will be devastated to lose this wonderful venue. Myself & my husband use the theatre regularly and it's always packed. We've been there twice in the last couple of weeks to see Rave On & Elf, both very well supported as always. The theatre also brings custom to the town's pubs and restaurants. I cannot believe that the council is even considering it's closure.
