“If we had to close down again,” says Andrew Lloyd Webber, “we couldn’t survive.” Webber is staging his new musical Cinderella, with book by Oscar-winner Emerald Fennell, in a full-capacity theatre in July, having already delayed its premiere twice. He has mortgaged his house in London and will be selling one of his seven theatres. “It cost £1m a month to keep them dark,” he says. “You can’t just lock them up and throw away the key. I don’t run the theatres for profit and there wasn’t a reserve.” ....

As UK nears zero Covid deaths, there's good reason for optimism

The handling of the coronavirus crisis in the UK has provided few moments to celebrate, but the day we reach zero deaths from the disease will clearly be one to toast. That day may not be far off. On Tuesday, the UK reported four Covid deaths within 28 days of a positive test. On Monday it was only one. Months of painful lockdown, in the face of more transmissible variants, and the rapid rollout of effective vaccines, have proven their worth. We have good reason to feel optimistic for the months ahead. ....

Surprise, surprise. Presented, or so they thought, with an end-March deadline to save a few thousand pounds on stamp duty, buyers rushed to complete their house purchases. Mortgage lending in the month reached a new record.
It requires no imagination to see what will happen in June, the extended deadline for the £500,000 zero band on stamp duty in England and Northern Ireland – an extension announced very late in the day by the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, in his March budget. There will be a repeat. Then the drama will be replayed in a miniature form in September as buyers try to get on the right side of the taper from £250,000 to £125,000. ....

The coronavirus crisis has driven a surge in outdoor activity in Britain as people have taken to green spaces and reconnected with nature, but those working from home have benefited significantly more, a report reveals.
More than three-quarters of home workers left the house to exercise during the first lockdown, compared with only half of those still travelling for their job, the Office for National Statistics found. Those based at home were also 50% more likely to visit a park or local green space than those still required to commute, the statisticians said. ....

Children develop independence and the ability to manage risk when they play unsupervised, say experts.
Good morning, Warren Murray with your first taste of the news for Tuesday.
Primary-age children in Britain are typically not being allowed to play outside on their own until two years older than the previous generation were. Their parents played outside unsupervised by the age of nine – today’s children don’t get there until age 11, according to the study. One expert said the findings showed that British children had been subject to “a gradual, creeping lockdown over at least a generation”. ....
