West End performers protest theatre closures by singing in Leicester Square
West End performers are protesting the continued closure of theatres in London by singing in Leicester Square.
The group were pictured standing socially-distanced and with face masks on in the heart of the capital's entertainment district.
Theatres and their performers have been among the hardest-hit businesses and workers since the coronavirus pandemic forced them to close in March this year.
In September, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden promised the industry would receive a portion of a £1.57 billion arts rescue package this month.
Leicester Square is the centre of London's cinema land and is the home of TKTS, which has sold discount theatre tickets since 1980.
