Georgina quits again

Georgina Beyer really does have a problem with perseverance. She announced her resignation from Parliament three times, taking it back twice. And now after announcing she would be returning to life on the stage in the play “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” she has pulled out, leading to the show being cancelled.

Her withdrawal was two days before the show was due to open and has led to a loss of up to $30,000 for Dunedin’s Fortune Theatre Trust.

The press release from Fortune doesn’t specify the exact problem, but did say:

Citing, personal and professional performance difficulties, Georgina has found the move from her parliamentary career to that of a professional actor much more demanding than expected.

This is a huge disappointment to Georgina, her co-star Douglas Kamo, director Hilary Norris and everyone involved in the production but a decision had to be taken after it became clear that the performance would not reach the standards expected by everyone involved.

It is hard work being an actor, It requires hard work and dedication to remember your lines when it is a live production.
