The Theatre Industry is dying, and it’s dying now.
Not everyone likes theatre, but if you watch Film/TV this is going to affect you, because much of what & who you watch had their origins in theatre, whether it’s Fleabag or the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games [THREAD]

Like most theatres, we’ve worked hard over the last 5 years to become more resilient- this has largely been achieved through ticket sales and touring. Whilst we would love to open our doors next month, sadly operating our bar and cafe without shows doesn’t stack up for us.
