Coronavirus Closed London Old Vic Theatre

The UK government has announced a Coronavirus pandemic financial rescue package for the Arts industry, a £1.15bn support for cultural organisations in England which is made up of £880m in grants and £270m of repayable loans. But venues such as the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End whose last production was 'Blithe Spirit', will remain closed for the foreseeable future, on 7th July 2020, in London, England. Some theatres in London and others around the country have been wrapped in bright pink barrier tape, which reads "Missing Live Theatre" - a protest project led by stage designers group Scene Change. The arts and culture arts industry supports 137,250 jobs and is worth £21.2bn in direct turnover.
