Rejected petition Save the British Theatre industry by financially supporting it's companies.

Everyone involved in the arts need the government to act, in response to the crisis that the Theatre Industry faces due to COVID-19, by providing financial support. It's estimated that the shutdown has resulted in a loss of £330m for the sector. We need you to help it recover.

More details

The livelihoods of so many people of different cultures; backgrounds and vocations are at risk. British Theatre faces a major threat that it may not recover from. If we lose Theatre, we lose the positive impact it creates: providing people with jobs; educating and expanding on the knowledge of different cultures; giving young people a place to express themselves that other vocations don't allow; it's value to the economy of roughly £5 billion and to the tourism sector of £2 billion. It is vital.
