"Every theatre is different, which is why we didn’t cancel 34 pantomimes in one day. The discussion about the viability of each show is still ongoing. Although announcements have been made regarding the postponement of several shows, not everything has been delayed as we continue to address the needs of each theatre.
We’re not blind to what is going on in the world – and take the safety of our staff and audiences very seriously – but at the same time, this industry needs to get back on its feet.
Pantomime is the most adaptable of art forms. We need a list of dos and don’ts that we can work from. If brass and woodwind in the orchestra are a concern, then let’s reconfigure the pit. If artists interaction on stage is dangerous, we will adapt accordingly. It’s a big frustration that other industries, such as restaurants, have had clear guidelines as to how they can progress and function and we haven’t."
