With venues closed off like danger zones, the Scene Change collective of theatre designers has covered arts buildings around the country with its own tape carrying the words 'Missing Live Theatre'.

Vauxhall MP Florence Eshalomi visited the NT on Friday afternoon to meet some of those involved in the installation and to show her support for South Bank's arts institutions.
