Today’s judgment from the High Court - which dismissed Equity’s challenge to Spotlight’s fees - is disappointing for our 50,000 members.

Down to the final 5 SHOWS after 6 months. Surreal. @everymanchelt.bsky.social is a great place to say goodbye though 👋 - what a beauty. And lush audiences so far! #theatre #touring #cheltenham #justbetweenourselves

💸Could the 'Creative Places fund' be an alternative or addition to ACE funding for theatre projects over the next 3-5 years? Here's hoping! 🙏(seemingly good for the 6 regions out of London - glad to see W Yorkshire is one!)#theatre #funding #yorkshire #freelancersmakethearework #arts #labour
