National Theatre doing well?

Hytner revealed that his second financial year as director of the National was even more rudely healthy than the first. The three theatres, the Olivier, the Lyttleton and the Cottesloe, were 94% full in the year ended April 2005, compared with 91% the previous year.

I guess this shows the NT is putting on plays people want to see, but I wonder how its audience demogrpahic is shaping up – is refelctive of the couuntry or London? Is it getting younger or more socially mixed? Does that matter?
