OPEN AIR THEATRE RE-OPENS WITH JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR: IN CONCERT

The performer

"I’ve heard no mention of the importance of our industry, how the government feel about it, no signal of any support," says Olivier Award-winning actor and singer David Thaxton. "It feels like the arts are being forgotten, as if the weight, not just artistically but economically, that our industry brings to the UK just doesn’t matter."

When pressed on how government schemes such as the SEISS have been initialised to alleviate the poverty caused by unemployment, he acknowledges that many performers have been helped. But he's looking for signs that a bailout might be on the horizon for such a massive cultural sector that gives pleasure to so many.

This is an existential crisis for theatre
