LAST week the Prime Minister announced details of how sections of the leisure and hospitality industries will be able to reopen from this weekend.
While pubs, cinemas and museums will resume trading — albeit under strict social-distancing rules — no date was given for when theatres would be able to welcome audiences back into their buildings.
This disappointment was compounded later in the week by Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden’s announcement of a road map for reopening Britain’s performing arts venues, a plan that Theatres Trust sees as woefully lacking in meaningful detail at a time when the theatre sector desperately needs clarity and support.
