The producers of The Red Iron say it's not possible to put on additional performances of the play.
The critically-acclaimed play by Jim Nolan is running at Garter Lane until the end of the month but is completely sold out.
There's currently a stanby list of several hundred.
Producers Pádraig Ó Gríofa and Michael Grant say they looked into putting on additional performances but it wasn't possible for logistical reasons:
"We looked at it but for logistical reasons, it just wasn’t possible. We’re very sorry not to have been able to cater for the public demand but I suppose it’s a good problem to have."
Jim Nolan says he's delighted with the response to The Red Iron:
"I’m overjoyed and overwhelmed by the public response to the play. With such an iconic setting and with the combination of local actors, characters and storyline, we were quietly optimistic of a good outcome. But nothing could have prepared us for the affection with which the city has embraced the play. I am extremely grateful for the unprecedented support at the box office, but also to the team of people who invested so much and in so many different ways to making this project happen."
