Theatres in Scotland will be able to reopen from 17 May, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has revealed.
While a major step forwards for the arts world in the north, the news was dampened somewhat by the revelation that audience members must adhere to a two-metre social distancing system, more severe than England's "one -metre-plus" rule.
In fact, 11 of Scotland's leading arts venues, as well as the Federation of Scottish Theatre, has called for a review of the requirements, saying the "current 2m+ requirement makes presenting and producing work financially unviable in almost all contexts", with 96 per cent of members unable to operate in an economically viable way.
