We all await further news about how this money will be distributed, to whom, and when. It needs to be soon. We also need news on reopening strategies, and on how we can best look after theatre's many freelancers. But the mood in the arts is a lot more optimistic. We have no idea if Jermyn Street Theatre will receive any money directly, but we exist within a big family of other theatres and companies, so this news can only be good for us.
