A U.K. stage production of Neil Gaiman‘s “Coraline” has been canceled following allegations of sexual misconduct against the author.
The “Coraline” musical was set to take place at Leeds Playhouse from April 11 to May 11 before touring to Edinburgh, Birminham and Manchester.
Co-production partners Leeds Playhouse, Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh, Birmingham Rep and Home Manchester issued a joint statement on Wednesday, which reads: “We have decided our production of ‘Coraline – A Musical’ will not proceed. After careful consideration, we feel it would be impossible to continue in the context of the allegations against its original author.”
