Live Theatre refunds ticket-holders following postponement of Nadine Shah's debut show

Disappointed ticket-holders have all received their money back following the postponement of Nadine Shah's much-talked-about show which was due to be enjoying its premiere run now in Newcastle.

Live Theatre, where To Be A Young Man had been set to make its debut, has confirmed that full refunds have been given after news that the drama - set to star singer-songwriter Shah and inspired by her first album - has been pulled. The Quayside theatre had earlier announced it had taken "the difficult decision" to postpone the show on realising it needed more time.

No new dates have been given for a run but it says it "hopes to announce its return in the future". The show had been heralded as an exciting new venture as part of Live's 50-year anniversary celebrations and it also would have marked Shah's playwriting debut.
