The mad king play and stratford upon avon just cancelled on me and now I see why theatre is very hard for the average people to get into.

Stratford upon avon is a very inconvenient place to get to. They cancelled 3 hours before the play began. I had to spend money on a train and a hotel (the play is 4hrs long and starts a 7pm) I know they will refund the ticket but I don’t think they are gonna help me with these other costs. I think the average person is more cautious with their money so I can see why theatre is very inaccessible. Also every other show is already sold out so even if I get my refund it won’t allow me to see the play. A majority of my friends are working class and I don’t think it is possible for me to encourage them towards something so pricey and difficult to get into.
