It's worth noting that the government haven't closed the theatres, they made an advisory that people should avoid going. This in turn puts pressure on producers and theatres to close anyway so as not to appear socially irresponsible, but without the official government shutdown theatres are vulnerable from being ineligible for insurance etc. Very underhand

Broadway Is Closed, but Londons Theaters Carry On

Uhhh... didn’t the west end just close down all of their theatres?"

Days after I wrote that, yes. And not before I got to double Chekhov. A mediocre, but well performed Conor McPherson -adapted Vanya and Jamie Lloyd's exquisite Seagull (with Khaleesi!).
