Actors, writers, technicians and others in the industry facing hardship and ‘critical threat to livelihoods’ following shutdowns
Theatres in the UK have made clear the disastrous economic impact caused by even short-term shutdowns because of the coronavirus. The Arcola in east London, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, has suspended all shows until further notice and stated that its future is now at risk and that coronavirus was a “critical threat to the livelihoods of all those who work in the arts”. The Old Vic has cancelled the last two weeks of Endgame starring Daniel Radcliffe.
