It has been revealed one of the Tricycle’s donors has ended his five-year relationship with them. According to the Jewish News, Sir Trevor Chinn will stop his annual four-figure donations. Sir Trevor told the newspaper: “We are as a community under pressure from the boycott movement. We can’t accept boycotts and whenever one comes along we have to fight it. The Tricycle is going to lose a lot of audience members and a lot of financial support. It’s a tragedy because this is a theatre that needs and, in the ordinary course, deserves support. Celia Atkin, whose Atkin charitable Foundation supports causes in the fields of the arts, health and poverty relief, also confirmed to the Jewish News they will stop its funding. She said: “This is a very sad situation. It has made me feel uncomfortable, unwelcome and unable to continue to attend or support the theatre.”
