Venues and production companies that had to cancel events because of the red alert weather are now counting the costs of a disastrous few days. Ticket-holders for cancelled shows were offered an alternative performance over the weekend. Project Arts CentreMelanie Wright, communications manager at Project Arts Centre, Dublin, said there was considerable fall-out, financially and personally, to artists and the venue when it had to cancel shows shows last week. Ennis Book Club Festival initially cancelled some events but eventually had to cancel everything, a huge disappointment for the festival. The theatre cancelled all shows from Wednesday to Saturday, including five performances of The Unmanageable Sisters on the Abbey stage and five of Porcelain at the Peacock.
