The latest announcement by the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) states that all its theatres will be closed until Sunday 28 June. SOLT has been cancelling performances across the West End on a rolling basis in line Government advice, but warns: "This does not mean theatres will reopen on 29 June; if further cancellations are necessary they will continue to be announced on a rolling basis. Different theatres and productions are likely to reopen at different times." Theatre producer Cameron Mackintosh is pessimistic in his predictions for reopening though. He told BBC Radio 2's Michael Ball that theatres won’t be able to reopen until 2021 as a result of social distancing measures: "I think from the moment social distancing doesn’t exist any more, it will take us four to five months to actually get the actors back together."
