Westovians forced to postpone the opening night of Home, I’m Darling after lead actress is struck down with illness.
The opening night of the comedy show Home, I’m Darling in South Shields has been postponed after the lead actress was struck down with laryngitis.
Hannah Dalgliesh was due to play the starring role in the performance tonight (Wednesday, April 29) at the Westovians’ Pier Pavilion but has been forced to pull out.
New dates have been set, with the Olivier Award winning comedy now put back until Wednesday, May 6.
Honorary chairman of the Westovians Ray Spencer said: “Sadly illness has prevented the lead actress from appearing.
“Hannah was due to play Julie and Laura Wade’s award-wining play Home, I’m Darling, but laryngitis has stopped her treading the boards.
“New dates have been set and all is ready for the curtain to rise on this 2019 Olivier Award winning comedy next Wednesday.”
The show will now take place at the Pier Pavilion, on Pier Parade, South Shields, on May 6 with the show running until May 9.
