So I read this morning that my old university, Warwick Uni, is collaborating with the Royal Shakespeare Company! Aside from being fantastic, this is another demonstration of how invested in the arts Warwick University is. Not many people know that the Warwick Arts Centre has the broadest and deepest arts calendar outside of London in the UK. Showing niche films, pioneering new plays, and all manner of one-man shows, it's a gem in the midst of midland mediocrity. It was at Warwick that I first saw Eddie Izzard and John Shuttleworth, and venues like the Arts Center really are the lifeblood of popular culture -- even when that culture is not so popular. Kudos to Warwick, again!
