Production at Lyceum Theatre cancelled over coronavirus concerns

The Lyceum Theatre released a statement this morning (13th March)

The Lyceum Theatre in Oldham have taken the decision to cancel one of their upcoming productions.

They released this statement this morning:

"Having reviewed government advice today and all available information to date regarding the coronavirus, we have made the decision to cancel and or postpone our nExt play ‘A Life’, due to run from 27 March - 4 April. 

"We will review whether we can indeed perform the play we planned  for June ‘Holiday Snap' in the coming weeks. 

"The decision is not taken lightly and is based upon minimising the risk of infection to all those who visit our theatre. Protecting the health of all our members, volunteers and audiences is paramount over the coming difficult months.

"Although we believe the risk of infection is very small at present we have to consider the wellbeing of the more vulnerable members of the above groups and the danger of onward transmission to them. 

"We trust you appreciate the reason for this difficult  decision and we will advise you in the very near future about potential changes to future plays and ticket refunds too."
