As this issue of New Theatre Quarterly was going to press, we learned of a threat to the continued existence of the Theatre Museum in Covent Garden. The following personal response by NTQ Contributing Editor Ian Herbert may well have been overtaken by events by the time this issue is published, but we felt the situation should not go unrecorded or unprotested. Any interested readers who have not yet added their voices in support of the Museum should visit http://theatremuseum.org/news_and_views/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3582 where up-to-date news is, at the time of writing, being posted.
