“There Will Always Be More To Achieve”: Drama Schools Respond To Complaints Of Sexual Misconduct & Discrimination
deadline.comIn the first part of Deadline’s Drama Schools Uncovered series of stories, we revealed that 11 prestigious UK performing arts institutions were hit with nearly 100 complaints over sexual misconduct, bullying, and discrimination.
The figures, disclosed through Freedom of Information Act requests, are the first real attempt to establish the scale of inappropriate behavior in drama schools, which have helped give rise to stars including Anthony Hopkins and Judi Dench.
Not a single one of the schools questioned agreed to an interview, but Deadline is publishing their statements in full below, starting with some of the highest-profile institutions.
For each school, we have included the number of complaints and upheld (or partially upheld) complaints between 2020 and 2023.
