“We greatly welcome the announcement from the government of their support package and investment in the theatre sector at this incredibly challenging time. We are grateful to the DCMS, Treasury, the Prime Minister and everyone who has worked together to demonstrate the essential role that the arts play economically and socially in our communities.
This is a vital first step in the recovery of our world-leading sector and we look forward to receiving the full details of this support package. There is much more for us to do, we are ready and eager to work with the government, and everyone who makes up our incredible industry to ensure we can all return to work and take the next steps in welcoming back our community to our theatre.”
