So the National Youth Theatre was about to stage Homegrown, a play about radicalisation, with a cast of over 100 young people.
It was a play that looked incredibly interesting, genuinely engaging, thought provoking, 'challenging' - you know, all the stuff that contemporary theatre should be but rarely actually is.
It's been cancelled.

Such a shame.
