Shakespeare's Globe May Not Survive Pandemic, U.K. Lawmakers Warn
Shakespeare's Globe theater in London is in dire financial straits after being closed since March, say the venue's leadership. The theater is requesting government aid to stay afloat.
A short plea on the website of Shakespeare's Globe theater underscores a bleak truth: "As a charity that receives no regular government subsidy, we desperately need your support, more than ever before."
The British cultural staple is in danger of closing permanently if it does not receive adequate from Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee.
