Jimbobarino asked: The arts and popular culture enriches all our lives, but high culture such as Classical/Shakespeare/Opera, etc like it or not is mainly the preserve of the wealthy or the aspiring.
How do you feel about the poorest in society(statistically those who buy lottery tickets/Scratch Cards on a regular basis),
paying for these lavish productions to be enjoyed by a select audience?
How can they be funded differently? Are the measures being taken to popularise these arts drifting through to the ordinary people and popular culture?
