The “Covid axe” has fallen again on a Gisborne theatre production, with A Skull in Connemara postponed until June.
The Unity Theatre production, directed by Norman Maclean, was due to open this week.
“With only days to go, just when we were congratulating ourselves on having got this far unscathed,”Maclean said.
One of the cast is a household contact and in isolation.
“In the meantime it's simply a matter of lights out, lock the doors and wait for a while, keeping the script alive, which I'm confident the cast will do. They've shaped up so well.”
The deadly Irish comedy from acclaimed playwright Martin McDonagh (writer and director of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and In Bruges) is intended to shock and has moments that will startle.
The new dates for A Skull in Connemara are June 3 to 11.
