Nuffield Southampton Theatres closure
Administrators have announced that a suitable buyer has not been found for NST, which went into administration in May.
Theatres Trust Director Jon Morgan said in response:
"Theatres Trust is saddened by the latest news about Nuffield Southampton Theatres. We hope that a new operator can be secured for both venues when theatres can open again in the future and that the buildings are protected in the interim.
With the loss of the company the UK theatre industry loses a valuable producer and the team that have driven NST should be supported so the sector does not lose their expertise and talents. It will take a long time to rebuild an organisation like it".
Theatres Trust continues to talk to the local authority about the future of the buildings as part of our work to protect theatres in crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic. Read more about this work.
