Playwright James Graham has said the theatre industry has been “decimated” ahead of the closure of venues in London and some surrounding areas.
Entertainment venues in the capital and parts of Essex and Hertfordshire will be welcoming visitors for the last time on Tuesday before new Tier 3 restrictions come into force.
Graham, who wrote Ink, This House and The Vote, as well as TV dramas Quiz and Brexit, labelled the move as “sad”.
The largest concentration of theatres on earth managed to open last week, only to close tonight. The hope was to revive a decimated sector & tell stories at Christmas
