I too very much hope that we can get the 2020/21 panto season up on it's feet but also equally agree with Michael Harrison there needs to be a decision at the 3rd of August gives a calendar month for this shambolic government to get its finger out and either announce a time table and financial support or announce when theatres can open.

Now bare in mind Andrew lloyd Webber is planning a covid test opening for the London Palladium in July, that couple with the fact theatres in England can now open but cant stage live performances.

the next month is critical, Oliver Dowdens road map is worth about as much as the paper its written on.

My biggest fear is the Government is willing to allow the industry to crumble and die, the truth is, when its gone, its gone.
