Thanks very much to Ted Bottle for his support of our struggle against Scarborough Borough Council to save the Futurist Theatre (letters, p8, May 3). He has stated the situation correctly. The council has absolutely no understanding whatsoever of theatre, what it is, how it works, and its place in tourism and society as a whole, despite our best efforts to explain.
