This week, Kevin reflects upon the arts, in particular the theatre industry, and talks about the impact of the lockdown upon a sector that has, for so long, provided the country with joy, escapism, and a real sense of national identity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
With the roadmap out of lockdown finally coming into view, it's looking as though the theatre and the arts can finally begin to rely on the fact that recovery is coming.
Rise Up With Arts is an event designed to reignite the world's love for the arts by streaming, globally, an incredible feast of variety and entertainment.
70% of workers in the arts are freelancers, and have long been ineligible for support from the government. People can't get back to work again soon enough.
Charities and funds have been set up to support the people in the arts who need it most desperately. We must do all we can to make the reopening of theatres a success.
