GLASGOW’S Tron Theatre is gearing up for a goodbye. Artistic director Andy Arnold is saying cheerio with a show built on a classic. It is, however, nae ordinary classic.
Mulgrew’s association with Arnold stretches way back to: “When he was running the Theatre Workshop in Edinburgh in the late 70s. That’s when we met and Communicado was getting off the ground. He has been a fantastic support, with his enthusiasm and knowledge of the scene. I think he’ll be missed. I’ll certainly miss him because he has always been a great support to me.”
That transfer includes a lesson for us all: “The story is a solid morality play, which is what I like about Dickens. He wasn’t just entertaining, he wanted to make a point about corruption. Mulgrew returned to the loss of Arnold at the helm of the Tron. They have previously run both the Theatre Workshop and The Arches: “I think it will be a big, big loss, because we need people who have knowledge of what has happened in the past as well as what is happening in the present.
If that does happen maybe places such as the Tron or the Traverse will be under pressure to close, which is dreadful.” “I think things have changed in terms of priority and am not sure there is the same level of support for live theatre, which is what I have been involved in all my life. Understanding of and dialogue between theatres, makers and the funding body – I don’t know if that’s the same.
