Theatre, pantos and musicals to return as Boris Johnson announces they can reopen from August 1
theatres and music venues will be allowed to reopen in EnglandSpeaking at the time, he announced a number of pilot tests to see how performances could restart indoors.
Even outdoors performances will have to follow strict rules - including actors staying at least a metre apart wherever possible. The UK's performing arts sector is believed to be facing an annual loss of £74billion and potentially 400,000 job losses in 2020. "The pandemic has brought theatre to its knees. Theatres do not have the money to operate viably with physical distancing. It is difficult to see venues opening before the end of the year."
