Thank you! Team WWRY&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The Society of London Theatre (SOLT) continued: &#8216;We would like to commend the dedicated hard work from everyone in theatres across London and the UK over the last few weeks to continue to entertain and delight people for as long as they safely could. There are over 290,000 individuals working in the theatre industry across the UK, and the closure of theatres and public venues will have a devastating impact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;At this time, we must come together to support each other. Theatre as an industry relies on its audiences entirely to exist. We will rely on you now more than ever.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The organisation added that while ticket holders are all entitled to a refund for cancelled performances, the &#8216;financial toll&#8217; that refunding tickets would have on the &#8216;small, charitably funded theatres is vast&#8217;. SOLT urges anyone who can afford to donate the cost of their ticket to support the stricken industry to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The news has been a nightmare for industry staff, from theatre technicians to front of house staff, many of whom are self employed or work on zero hours contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Head of Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union (Bectu) Philippa Childs said this evening:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cost of protecting the public from the spread of coronavirus can\u2019t be carried by theatre workers, many of whom are on zero hours contracts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government needs to be clearer in its guidance and its language so that theatre companies can claim insurance to ensure that staff are not left without pay for weeks on end. It is failing to provide the clarity it needs to and this must be addressed immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBectu will continue to push hard for better protection for freelancers and vulnerable workers including zero hours workers to try to reach an agreement with employers as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>More from Chopsy Baby<\/strong><br \/>\nSubscribe\u00a0on YouTube:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/chopsybaby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/chopsybaby\/<\/a><br \/>\nFollow\u00a0us on Twitter\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chopsybristol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/chopsybristol<\/a><br \/>\nLike\u00a0us on Facebook at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chopsybristol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chopsybristol<\/a><br \/>\nHome\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chopsybaby.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.chopsybaby.com\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coronavirus Closes Theatre Doors Across The Country &#8211; London and UK Touring Productions Were Hit By The Decision Bristol Hippodrome<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":39254,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bristol-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Coronavirus Closes Bristol and UK Theatres This Evening<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Coronavirus Closes Bristol and UK Theatres This Evening.
