West End Theatres Discussing Closing for 2012 Olympics
According to BBC News, the possibility of closing West End productions for the 2012 Summer Olypics in London is still being discussed. Theatre owner Stephen Waley-Cohen commented: "There's a lot of discussion and disagreement about what is going to happen."
He continued: "Personally, I think that the two-and-a-half weeks of the Olympics will see pretty poor attendances in theatres because people will be focused on sport. I hope I'm going to be proved wrong. There's concern and anxiety, but as far as we're concerned we'll be doing eight shows a week."
