Industry figures warn of ‘catastrophic financial difficulties’ for capital’s venues and producers
West End theatres are to shut after Tuesday night’s performances as London moves into tier 3 restrictions, and industry figures say the capital’s theatre sector faces “catastrophic financial difficulties”.
About 30 London theatres had fully reopened this month, and some have invested thousands in socially distanced Christmas shows. Last December’s box office takings were estimated at £75m.
