eternal Posted August 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think this is a great idea from Magical Mr Christopher Lees on Twitterm Watch Theatre to Help Out Once theatres and concerts are back up and running it would be a real help to get the bums back on seats. I know for the food industry it has been a real boost and has gained everyone's confidence to get back out there in restaurants. Perhaps not Mondays or Tuesdays for theatre but even Wednesdays & Thursdays wood be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValR Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 It would be a great idea. I know Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is being very proactive even doing the Oxford vaccine trials to try to get things moving. Fingers crossed they find a vaccine soon that will help us all to get back to some kind of normal life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethsmelody Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Although I think it would be a brilliant idea I still feel the only way I would feel comfortable would be with the vaccine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 There have been lots of similar questions like this following the Snooker Championship taking place in a Theatre with an audience. This is from Matthew Grove on Twitter Doesn't seem to make sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValR Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I was surprised when I was watching that no one was wearing a mask even if they didn't have to. There were only 300 allowed in so definitely socially distanced and they are fortunate in snooker that the events are all sponsored so not dependant on making money. I can't imagine many theatres would be able to make a show financially viable with such a small audience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yes you are right Valr no theatre is going to be able to keep going with such a small audience. However the idea of Sponsoring sounds good. Wonder why some of those who have made a lot of money from the Arts don't think about sponsoring an event or two? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Panto is now going ahead at the London Palladium. Details here A huge risk to see if it will work but in my opinion one worth taking. As Michael Portillo said on Question Time last night.

ValR Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 This is a brilliant idea, well done the National lottery. It will hopefully mean that some theatres will earn enough money that they will be able to stay in business. It would be great if Gareth's panto in Cardiff is one of the ones included even though I probably wouldn't be going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
