Over half of the UK theatres on its at risk register, which has risen to 58 since last year, are yet to find the financial and political support needed to secure a viable future.

However, in slightly brighter news, two Welsh theatre buildings have been taken off the list; Theatr Elli in Llanelli (Grade II listed) and the Patti Theatre at Craig-y-Nos (Grade I listed).
