All the Web’s a Stage was an online event consisting of 12 marvellous jam-packed hours of all your favourite performers from the West End and theatre to comedy, drag and magic – doing what they do best, but swapping big stages and bright lights for their couch.

The livestream was raising money for our artistic comrades who have been severely impacted by Covid-19. Whilst we appreciate the government’s initiatives, and the support made available for many self-employed workers, there are still many freelance artists who fall through the cracks of these new government programs. As a result, thousands of artists who are now unable to earn an income are facing the coronavirus crisis with no available financial support.

All funds raised by All the Web’s a Stage were donated to three main charities who are leading the efforts in supporting these amazingly talented, and worthy, artists in need of support: Acting for Others, The Golsoncott Foundation and Help Musicians UK. Our collaboration with The Golsoncott Foundation involves creating a new Bounce Back Fund. This will enable artists making exciting new work to return to bringing great entertainment to our stages, pubs and performance venues much sooner after restrictions are lifted!

The coronavirus outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic caused nearly 300 theatres across the country to close on Monday 16 March. The damage of this for an arts and culture industry worth £117 billion to the British economy has been huge. In wake of this, Theatre Together, a new collective of over 100 artists and professionals (including producers, directors, marketers, actors and an array of other individuals in the arts and culture industry) assembled to take action during this crisis. The mission is to create positive change for arts workers while re-examining audiences’ relationship to theatre in this new digital age.
