£9m needed to plug Off West End income gap

OffWestEnd, the group that supports, promotes and celebrates the work of over 100 independent, alternative and fringe theatres in London, says these venues are estimated to lose between £7.6m and £9.2m in income for the 6 months post lockdown. Reflecting the situation of 100 venues, their new report analyses their needs and identifies the amount required, pointing out that they will all need support to sustain them through the lockdown.
