London theatre
Wednesday 18th May 2016
Facts of the day: London staged 22 per cent of all theatre shows in England in 2014, up from 19 per cent in 2013. The metropolis also staged a larger proportion of the total number of performances, 54 per cent compared to 50 per cent, attracted more of the total audience, 62 per cent compared to 59 per cent, and a greater proportion of box office, 73 per cent compared to 70 per cent. Is there no way of reversing this trend of metropolitan dominance?
