A West End production of Gone With The Wind starring Darius Danesh will end its run early.

The show has suffered from poor ticket sales and a bad response from the critics and will now finish on the 15th of June.

“From the beginning of our journey we have all worked hard to achieve the realisation of putting Margaret Mitchell’s classic novel, Gone with the Wind, on stage at the New London Theatre,” producer Aldo Scrofani explained in a statement. “Despite the critical response the Company have enjoyed much praise from audience members during our run and for that we are grateful, nevertheless we have made the difficult decision to close the production.

“Plans for a New York production are currently on hold but in the meantime we are pursuing various options that have been presented to us from interested parties worldwide.”
