Government tier three restrictions announced – Red Ladder Theatre Company postpones tour of My Voice Is Heard But It Was Ignored
Due to the government announcement that West and South Yorkshire will go into Tier 3 restrictions, it is with great sadness that Red Ladder will not be touring our new production My Voice Was Heard But It Was Ignored. The play was due to be performed CAST in Doncaster, Cluntergate Centre in Horbury and Holbeck WMC in Leeds next month; a number of tour dates have already been postponed, having fallen into the second national lockdown period in November.
Rod Dixon, artistic director of Red Ladder Theatre Company said,
“While this is the news that none of us wanted, we are incredibly proud of our cast and creative team, company and freelance staff who have worked incredibly hard to create this new play. Whether adapting to making this work in a Covid-secure rehearsal room or working remotely, everyone has put an incredible amount of time, passion, dedication and hard work into bringing Nana Kofi-Kufuor’s powerful debut play to life.
More than anything we wish that circumstances were different and that we were welcoming our audiences on tour of our new production. We press on with hope and optimism to bring our show to the stage in 2021 – and Red Ladder stands in solidarity with all our fellow theatre-makers in these difficult times.”
