Empower theatres to open in a Covid safe manner. Venues are not all the same.

What the petition asks
The Government decision to allow theatres to open but with no live performance makes no sense. All venues are different. Cornwall for example has a large number of outdoor venues . Please allow venues to positively manage and safely reopen to the public with live performance. Support live theatre.
There are thousands of people who’s livelihoods rely on this industry. If pubs can open safely so can theatres especially if they are outdoor.
