FREELANCERS ASSEMBLE!

@fade2dust This, this, this

@network_wales Fingers crossed, that freelancers placed in financial danger during this crisis will see some of the money and not just go to the fat cats who sacked their staff at the outset of the shutdown covering their financial losses.

Real graft has gone in to make this happen and huge thanks to those who worked so hard on behalf of the whole industry. We are really hopeful that freelancers will have a place at all discussions about the future of theatre in Wales moving forward. YMLAEN!
