However, in the same breath, there is another view. Mention needs to be made of the upset caused to front-of-house staff by the cancellation of the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester’s production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” last autumn. It may have been an unusual and fraught event: nevertheless, one worker said that front-of-house workers who were not paid for that period were “disproportionately” impacted by the cancellation. So the number of hours that are expected to be worked over a period needs, at the very least, to form some kind of a benchmark if it is not to be addressed by compensation.
