Funding pulled from Talawa Theatre

Arts Council has withdrawn funding for a theatre for Talawa.

A purpose-built £9.5m building on the site of an old theatre near Victoria station in London was to have opened in 2007. It was planned as a permanent home for Talawa, the country's leading black theatre company, which celebrates its 21st birthday this year, and as a space championing black performers, writers and directors.

I don't know the ins and outs or the finances but this seems a definite step back for the theatre mix of London.
