The tax credit lifeline as theatres shut down

The tax credit lifeline as theatres shut down With London moving into tier four lockdown, the theatre sector was delivered another blow at what would usually be one of its busiest periods. The West End’s pantomimes have had to close, joining those in other tier three areas such as Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. It has been a major hit to a sector that has already struggled throughout the coronavirus crisis.  “To learn that the guidelines were changing again and that today we must close has been devastating for all of us,” wrote Michael Harrison, producer, joint owner and managing director of Qdos Pantomimes in The Guardian. “Let me be clear: I am very aware that we are in the middle of a pandemic.
