Recent reports highlight a troubling trend in the theatre industry: freelancers and suppliers going unpaid. Despite clear deadlines and agreed fees, many creatives still rely on trust rather than upfront payments, leaving them vulnerable to financial strain. Experts note that freelancers’ lack of administrative support and high overheads make this an ongoing issue, with collective action or structured payment plans seen as potential solutions.
