A PERFORMING arts group impacted by the coronavirus pandemic has been given another major boost after receiving thousands of pounds in funding. The Frinton Summer Theatre, based at the McGrigor Hall in Fourth Avenue, is considered the longest-running summer repertory theatre in the UK. The theatre puts on seven plays in seven weeks throughout July and August and in recent years it has hosted a musical in a big tent on Frinton Greensward. Last year the theatre was due to celebrate its 80th season but was forced to suspend any planned productions because of the Covid-19 crisis. The financial impact of the cancelled performances was mitigated slightly when the group was given £68,000 from the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund.
