MANILA – Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre’s productions of “Macbeth” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will no longer be staged in Manila.

This after the producers of the UK-based theater company announced on Friday that they have canceled the shows’ Manila run at the Theatre at Solaire from September 17 to 22.

James Cundall, CEO of producer Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and founder of Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre, cited low ticket sales as the reason behind their decision. “The publicity we have achieved from the media in Manila is unbelievable and we are immensely grateful for that, but sadly this has not translated into ticket sales. And despite an intense and costly marketing campaign, we have not been able to sell anywhere near the number needed to make the project financially viable,” he said.

“It is with great sadness that we have made the decision to cancel the season. The team at Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre was incredibly excited about bringing these superb productions to Manila audiences, so this is not a decision we have taken lightly.” Those who have tickets are advised to get a refund by calling TicketWorld at 891-9999 or sending an e-mail to [email protected]
