Free tickets!

"Andy Burnham has unveiled a scheme that will see thousands of people under 26 offered the chance to experience great drama, free of charge, at 99 theatres up and down England," according to a report in today's Guardian. The full list of theatres will be announced by Arts Council England tomorrow, but looks like it will include most producing theatres such as the New Vic. Drama students would be mad not to make the most of the opportunity.

PS: Lyn Gardner asks the very pertinent question: are free tickets enough to attract young people to the theatre?

UPDATE: Here's the full list of theatres (via the Stage)
