Why are so many theatre shows being cancelled in Australia?

Last week another popular music festival announced its going on hiatus. Harvest Rock. We’ve talked a lot about the struggling live music scene post COVID on this podcast.

But we’re not going to talk about that today. What we are going to talk about is Australia’s live theatre industry. Because while we’ve been watching music festivals suffer, another creative sector has been facing its own, similar challenges, with multiple big-budget shows axing performances in recent weeks.

We’ll explain what’s going on, and the UK Government model that could offer a way out for Australia’s struggling stages.
