I just turned down a job in the West End; after agent’s commission of 12.5% +vat and travel, I’d be taking home just over £380 per week, before tax!! 32nd year in this industry…
Over 50% of ‘jobbing’ actors in the West End have 2nd jobs…#StandUpFor17

[Russell Wilcox @russwilcox]

Between 1994 and 2018, based on top price tickets and my salary for my first year long West End contract paid at £450 per week.
Top price tickets had risen by over 212.5%, Equity minimum by just over 44%.
Inflation during that period was 92.9%.
#StandUpFor17

[Russell Wilcox @russwilcox]

So just inflation linked the minimum should have been £868.05 instead of £629.
Link it to top priced tickets and that would have been £956.25.
I know 17% pay rise may seem crazy, but unfortunately all producers in the West End are offering the minimum only.#StandUpFor17

[Russell Wilcox @russwilcox]

https://t.co/adseHJPmv6 via @EquityUk I am pretty sick of turning down jobs in the West End because the pay is derisory! Especially for an old fart like me in my 32nd year! Job after job is paying Equity minimum. So it’s time to take a stand and demand proper pay!!

[Sophie Maybury @maybury_sophie]

I consider this place a second home & learnt lessons from here that have been invaluable to me as both a human being and as an actor. In a time where the arts seems to be falling on its knees and horrifically underfunded these pleas are becoming far too frequent #savereadcollege
