Supplied Two companies related to the Pop-Up Globe Theatre Company are in liquidation after Covid-19 caused a sudden halt on international touring plans. By January last year, Pop-up Globe had produced 16 professional Shakespeare productions, entertained more than 750,000 ticket holders including more than 50,000 school students, and was successfully operating international touring seasons, organisers said. Last year was expected to be the final year Pop-up Globe performed in New Zealand. Pop-up Globe announced it was planning to focus on international touring while maintaining its headquarters in Auckland. But the local season was curtailed by Covid-19 restrictions and international plans were put on hold.
