Richard Armitage: 'Theatre is hanging on by a thread' | Stage | The Guardian theguardian.com/stage/2020/oct…

'Even audiences who came to see the play will get something more... There were certain moments in the play which in the rehearsal room we really wanted to be intimate... We were able to bring it down into a much more intimate, claustrophobic place.'

God, I knew a Tory Government under Johnson was going to be bad, but it’s so much worse than I imagined. corruption, inhumanity ,incompetence, cabinet ministers who bare face lie and then there’s Brexit, climate change ,a pandemic and the dastardly Cummings. And no theatre.

🚧 THIS IS NO PANTOMIME 🚧 is an urgent wake-up call. It’s about theatre and the communities. It’s about cancellation and closures. Without our government providing ongoing sector-specific support, we are witnessing the collapse of our world-leading culture industry. 1/5

With Christmas on the horizon, and the majority of pantomimes also now cancelled, theatres will be falling desperately short of the revenue required to see them through 2021, and will soon be left facing even more redundancies and closures. 3/5

The impact on the 200,000 self-employed theatre workers is even more devastating: 33% have received no government support at all since lockdown began in March, and many are having to leave the industry. These skills will take years to rebuild. 4/5

34 million theatre tickets were sold in 2018, around 3 million of which were for a pantomime. It is too late for this year’s Dames and Sleeping Beauties. Without urgent, increased support, our theatres will remain dark, long into the future: THIS IS NO PANTOMIME. 5/5
