The Poor School in Camden has announced this week that it will be closing its doors for good after three decades. The school opened in 1986 and was funded by a mere two thousand pound overdraft.
It has run as a low-cost alternative to other accredited drama schools such as LAMDA and RADA. Past students include Jessie Wallace, also known as Eastenders Kat Slater, and comedian Zoe Lyons.
An air of sadness fills the school as its founder Paul Caister has decided to move onto a new challenge. The school has been a local haven for budding actors with a budget and its closure is another step closer into the ever uncertain future of the arts. After 32 years it will be missed by alumni and aspiring actors alike.
