Has anyone else seen this
I thought after what happened
In Manchester and London
It was in really poor taste
The "special effects"
Are awful
Truly so
And it's being papered every show
Even then half empty

Presumably you're aware that these things were planned (and in the case of Killology began) long before the most recent attacks, so I'm unclear what you think should happen. Are you imagining that places like the Peacock/Royal Court cancel/postpone plays that have subject matter that might overlap with issues of violence?

On the one hand, television schedules will change when awful things happen in the news. If there's an episode of a crime drama about, say, a school shooting and then there's a school shooting the day before it's due to air, the TV stations will usually pull the episode, at least temporarily. When the Queen dies, you'll know about it right away if you've got the TV or radio on, EVERYTHING scheduled will go up the creek for several days.
Though that said, if you go to a play called Horror that's so clearly borne of the horror movie genre and are surprised that there is violence and/or blood within, you've got to take responsibility for that yourself. No one's saying watching a play involving a stabbing is going to be easy after a horrible real life stabbing so close to home, but it's not for the theatres to shut themselves down on the offchance you personally might find it a tough watch.

The audience member takes responsibility a lot more for theatre. Its not like you are going to accidentally channel surf onto the play which would offend you!

Has anyone else seen this I thought after what happened In Manchester and London It was in really poor taste The "special effects" Are awful Truly so And it's being papered every show Even then half empty It was a full house on the midweek night I saw it. Firmly in the (sometimes tongue in cheek) category of Horror. A fresh, creative if somewhat short piece at 80 minutes. The special effects were pretty good I thought. Far more effective and creepier than 'Woman In Black' which creaks worse than the floorboards in the haunted house in which it's set. I think that anyone booking for a show called 'Horror' might have a pretty good idea of what to expect and would've hopefully done some research before going. That said I remember Hamilton did not use prop guns at The Tony Awards following the Orlando shootings. It's hard to see what the company of Horror could've done to replicate this move though without cancelling the show.

Not sure where Parsley gets his information from. Friends who've seen it report full houses and there is only a handful of seats available for Saturday.

It has been papered for the entire run and well in advance not just the day before Usually fills the house quite well I would say And it ends on Saturday so it is not surprising that has sold better It is also on TKTS for £16
