London's West End theaters and cinemas have acted quickly following government advice on Covid-19 by shutting its doors until further notice. Shortly after, the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) released a statement saying that the West End would close until further notice. In these uncertain times, SOLT and UK Theatre remain committed to helping provide vital support for those in need, and hope we are able to welcome audiences back to our theatres before too long. The Royal Shakespeare Company also announced its three theatres will close following the Government's advice. A statement said the decision was made in light of the current coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak and recent UK government advice.
