Newcastle’s Live Theatre is offering £6 seats to freelance theatre-makers, actors and cultural artists. Proof of eligibility is required and that could be showing a business card, invoice, web site, social media account and so on.
At the moment, the concession can only be accessed by booking on the phone or in person but the theatre hopes to update the web site to be able to accept these bookings soon.
A Twitter announcement yesterday produced a storm of enthusiastic thanks from actors, directors, playwrights and theatre companies.
