I believe Phil Willmott is a fringe producer?
However there are some weasel words in there, such as “The London fringe is the only place where most people can hone their craft and build a CV that just might get them into the audition room”. so I read this to get a chance of getting to that elusive carrot on a stick, it is fine if we exploit you in the meantime.
He also points out examples of people in theatre who have made a success, these people would have been a success whatever because quality always shines through and the commercial theatre will always need great artists and creatives to remain vibrant and necessary . Not sure why Nica Burns is on the list?
Also the venues made a business management decision to have a small venue and it is shameful the operator built such a venue in knowledge that their employees will not get a salary. The fringe equity agreement isn’t a lot of money and you couldn’t survive on it in London or any other British city, it will barely pay for your travelling money and food.
I know an actor who couldn’t afford to pay his tuition fees back, so declared himself bankrupt.
