Save the British Theatre & Television industries. We are calling for additional urgent government support. The pandemic has hugely disrupted the entertainment industry. Actors , Dancers , musicians can not social distance while fighting, kissing, twirling singing
Why is this important?
Theatre & Television sets are busy crowded places. The audience requires large numbers to huddle together. Theatres cannot be profitable while we are social distancing for so many reasons and unlike other industries, we cannot work from home. Furlough schemes only take us to October 2020, but the industry is unlikely to reopen until 2021. Bectu says
“ The industry is facing a potentially catastrophic impact from COVID 19 and government, employers and workers must come together to develop a strategy for our cultural sectors’ survival.”
The entertainment industry has never suffered such a crippling blow. The impact is unprecedented and we must protect this great British institution.
