Last week, Equity’s General Secretary, Paul W Fleming, appeared on LBC News to address the growing issue of unauthorised filming during theatre performances.
His comments follow a post-show call-out from Amber Davies, currently staring in the West End, who publicly condemned an audience member for filming during a show.
The incident highlighted how filming without permission jeopardises performers' safety, dignity, and the enjoyment of the whole audience.

Imelda Staunton puts plainly what creatives have been screaming for years. Funding the arts doesn't make your children less likely to get a good job; it equips them to thrive in a great career! Culture belongs to all; not the wealthy.

The greatest thing to happen in Labour Conference....dare I say 2023 so far:
Mark Drakeford -
"Aneurin Bevan said that he was 21 before he met a Tory.
We want to give young people in Wales that same opportunity."
Fantastic 😍😂

I dont want to get any friends in hot water so I won't be mentioning names of people/companies, but some smaller regional commercial tours and seasonal events are really, really taking the piss with their fees. a lil thread 🧵

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAstrike
Top tip for casting agents/agencies; please don't send actors documents we need to edit, in PDF format. I can't afford my rent, let alone having to subscribe to Adobe.

I think ticket offices at railway stations are one of those things that remind of what a society should actually be. Real jobs and real interactions , and community can sometimes be placed above shareholder dividends. It's a choice we can make. #SaveTicketOffices

Is it right that actors are so scared - for fear of missing out on a future job as a freelancer - that we can't open up about how we feel in our workplace?
The days of sucking it up are over.
Pay us, or we leave.
West End performers and stage managers are demanding a 17% pay rise, with @EquityUK warning of strike action if the claim is rejected bit.ly/3Wsy9Zw

Today’s @ace_national announcement is nakedly political.
Seeing funding pour away from producers using collective agreements in favour of vanity projects is an affront to the creative workforce.
@EquityUK members should not pay the price of this broken funding settlement. 1/2
