Strictly star Amanda Abbington’s play ‘struggling to sell tickets’ as actress ‘in tears’ on opening night

Strictly star Amanda Abbington has been dealt a further blow amid reports that her new play hasn't been selling very well.

The play, which runs until August 31, is about “mining the depths of human courage and the resolve to survive following a shattering incident”. “It’s hoped that matters will be decided before then and everyone can move on, and we can start getting excited about the new names attached to the show instead of it being dogged by controversy,” a source told the Mirror. “The BBC hope that this report will bring the closure the show desperately needs although truth be told that is quite an optimistic outlook and the reality could be very different,” they claimed.
