Passion - A statement about David Birrell Injury and postponing shows
The injured actor David Birrell who sustained damage to his face and eye when a prop gun misfired during a production of Stephen Sondheim's musical Passion at the Donmar Warehouse is now back playing the role of the Colonel. - 21/10/10
A statement from the Donmar says: "During the matinee performance of Passion on Saturday David Birrell sustained an injury to his eye for which he is currently being treated in hospital. Our priorities are to David's well being and recovery; and to theatregoers who have purchased tickets for performances in the coming days. We are cancelling the show Monday to Wednesday and then hope to resume performances from Thursday. We will of course refund patrons who are unable to see the production."
So hopefully Birrell will be well enough for Passion to re-open on Thursday 7th October 2010
About Passion
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Book by James Lapine
10 September - 27 November 2010
“In war you know the enemy. Not always so in life.”
Captain Giorgio Bachetti, a military hero, is transferred to a strange and remote Italian outpost. Far away from his beloved Clara, he encounters Fosca, the cousin of his commanding officer, and her influence has shattering and inconceivable consequences.
Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s multi-award-winning musical examines the power of love in a haunting story of desire, sacrifice and redemption.
