Like other London shows and events, the producers of The Great Gatsby will be cancelling performances at IMMERSIVE LDN from Wednesday 16 December, in light of the government’s latest measures.

Producers Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook said: “This is a hammer blow to an industry which has been fighting valiantly to bring culture and community to people's lives this Christmas. 

“The Government has created a situation where millions of pounds have been spent on re-launching productions and shut them down just as revenue is about to be generated, leaving even more organisations in extreme financial difficulty and putting jobs for permanent staff and freelancers alike at even greater risk. 

“Further financial support is essential to avoid yet more high profile casualties in the Theatre industry. 

“Our productions of The Great Gatsby and Doctor Who: Time Fracture will continue as planned when the new restrictions lift, as we stand by our principles of protecting employment and providing enriching cultural experiences designed to be fit for these difficult times.”

Ticket holders for cancelled performances will be contacted within 48 hours by Arts Tickets to confirm next steps.
