[Freelancers Make Theatre Work @FreelancersMake]

Did you know, there are an estimated 296,000 jobs in the Arts? That's 1.1% of the entire UK workforce who contribute £7.7 Billion to the economy.

In Theatre, over 70% of that workforce is Freelance.

Hello!? Can you hear us now!?

This is my career, my job, what we all trained and worked hard to achieve. We are viable and we will not stop fighting! We are just lucky to enjoy what we do.

The Chancellor @RishiSunak needs to stop this talk about people in the creative industries going on and doing something else. These are proper jobs in the fastest growing sector in the UK. The government needs to realise this - actors, artists, musicians are vital to our economy

[Tony Simpson @TonySim85680886]

@julianpbird @domcavendish @OlivierAwards Why on earth with the state of the live industries and livelihoods lost and people losing their homes, are we having theatre awards..? Senseless and really inappropriate...!
