Hull Truck Theatre receives another ACE bail-out

The theatre has been given an emergency grant of £250k by Arts Council England (ACE), meaning it has received eight bail-outs totalling more than £1.75m since 2011. Its regular ACE funding will increase by £250k per year from April, but this money was needed to “steady the ship” and start preparing for 2017, when Hull will be UK City of Culture.
