Description	:	Answer: Yes, I mean, the Donmar is again a lovely space, but working at the Lyric Hammersmith and working at the Donmar and Riverside Studios, I'm afraid shows, throws into relief, what is a dearth of venues that touring or outside or foreign theatre companies can come to. And that's something that London badly needs, is a space, a proper space that visiting companies can use. And the Lyric Hammersmith is fine but it's in Hammersmith. And Riverside is in Hammersmith as well which is terrible for audiences to get to. The Donmar's too small economically. No London desperately needs, and someone should open it, a proper touring space - and it would be hugely rewarding because we would se many of the world class companies who, at the moment, will for example come to the Barbican. But as we know the Barbican is death as a space.
