Most of theatre (dominated by the middle/upper classes) find working class communication styles too challenging. So many stories of friends/family leaving jobs/having hard experiences due to being found as “too direct” etc. Tiring.

LAMDA, RADA, ASDA as far as I’m concerned. Doesn’t matter where you go; if you graft and work hard that’s the most important thing. So many mint schools around the country and whatever is talented about you - it never leaves you. Drama school is just bling on top of that!

If these kids want their papers remarked they have to cough up £30 per paper or upwards (I’m pretty sure I had to pay £60 for one of mine back in 2015). To a working class family that’s a LOT of money. That’s not including resits which is the same fee. Classism at its peak.

(Thread). This a thousand times. Some of these schools are endorsed by the richest people in the country and I know for a fact that one school gets £2m from the Queen every year. But all of a sudden they expect you to raise £70k just to stay on their course? Do me a favour.

The fact we’ve normalised people searching for £70k to go to drama school, and the institutions offering training aren’t taking any responsibility for the funding of their future students is fucking dystopian.
