"You can go to the cinema but not a theatre, doesn't make sense." All to do with live performing and social distancing in an enclosed space . We have a very successful theatre here in Norwich and they have cancelled everything for the rest of the year , laid off 120 staff , and cancelled the pantomime their real money spinner . Real fears it will never reopen. | |||

" its the ban on live performing i dont understand... if its because the performers cant social distance this could be worked around with them living together for a few months while the show is performing ... not ideal but for many i would think better than the whole industry going under and not too dissimilar to people in entertainment that work on cruise shops there are also solo performers if its about distancing the crowd how is this any different to a cinema? | |||

"You can go to the cinema but not a theatre, doesn't make sense. You can sit next to someone on a plane for 4 hours but not next to someone in a theatre which is usually a larger space for around 2 hours. Following the science eh." Comments like this make me wonder if people are intentionally trying to play dumb? Everything is going to reopen. It’s a question of when and how and slowly doing it. They’re not saying a plane or a pub is safer than a theatre. There saying they are allowing flights and pubs first for a number of reasons. They’re also not preventing anyone from getting the virus. They’re just trying to slow it down. Theatre patrons tend to be old too, so I have a feeling that has something to do with it. | |||

"I just don't understand why a pub is safer than a theatre. " From some of the images from last night.. Walking into a combine harvester would be safer than walking into your local harvester... However, perhaps the theatre thing is to do with the number of people needed to put on a production, sound, light, stage crews, performers who will be singing projecting voices... Maybe that's part of it? | |||

"It’s frustrating as a musician that I can now go pub and drink but can’t go and perform as someone says when you sing you project and could then project Covid over crowds. Most places I go there is always a gap or distance from people. For theatres and plays the same happens I know Lloyd Webber has said he been told to record people in studio then they mime oh joy The entire music and entertainment will die and suffer lots venues only survive due to sales and even reduced admissions will impact. Hope is sorted soon" i dont know how much they think people are projecting ... most of these places have mics and sound systems comedians just speak , things like burlesque the sound all comes from a speaker maybe this will become time for the rise of the mime artist | |||

No I’m not dumb or deliberately acting dumb I’m just questioning the reasoning. I know madness. Lots of posts on social media criticising the supporters of the arts, probably by people who have spent the lockdown binge watching box sets on Netflix and failing to see the relevance. | |||

There are some who will never return to arts as have had no choice than find work elsewhere. " problem is, im not sure how many jobs are out there, there are alot of people looking for work | |||

".... and if by magic, almost as if they are listening ... HMG announce a £1.57 billion package to help Just announced so I guess more details to follow.." Will hopefully save some historic theatres and venues, but I don't think it'll be enough to save them all. | |||

"Surely people performing on stage is no different to 22 men playing football on a pitch?? " In theatres it's a bit trickier...backstage is tight on space and you've got stagehands, stage managers, lighting, sound, flys, cast, band, wardrobe...social distancing just isn't possible, unlike an open pitch, empty stadium and spacious dressing rooms with wide corridors. There's a lot less than 2m between the stage and the audience too. | |||

"It's interesting that they brought it forward, it wasn't going to be announced until Wednesday. The pressure from the live music push this week made a huge difference I think." I think it was my signature on the petition and they knew the game was up. | |||

"It frustrating that the money is going to venue's only and there seems to be no help for theatrical businesses. " As far as I am aware the money is going to go to the arts council, and they will decide who gets what from this fund..... | |||

"Bigger than I thought which said it’s likely to be longer.... DCMS sec has been on tv this morning... hinted strongly that it may be unlikely there is going to be a pantomime season which means least end of the year If that is what it’s going to be for them I think it’s going to be a long road for swinging clubs " Nobody in the media has asked Rishi or his mates if such clubs will get a bail out I notice!! | |||

"Show runs are a week long or less outside of London. It would mean cast and crew in one big bubble. Its the singing that's an issue for performances. It's awful for the venues and those affected. Makes no sense. Audience could be masked as flights are longer! " | |||
