ACE chair Dame Liz Forgan and her chief exec Alan Davey have been briefing The Stage magazine on how they plan to implement government cuts.

Here’s the link.
They need to reduce ACE administration by 50 percent. Both say they would have resigned if the cut had been front-loaded, rather than spread over two years.
