The Lichfield Street theatre will now remain closed until May 31 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Customers who were due to attend between the dates of May 5 and May 31 will receive information from the theatre via email, or post where an email has not been provided, regarding their bookings.

Chief executive and artistic director, Adrian Jackson, said: "It is inevitable, and with extreme sadness, that we remain closed for a further period of time.

"Throughout this unprecedented period, we have followed Government advice.

More Covid-19 coverage:

"I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the board of trustees, and indeed the whole team at The Grand Theatre to thank you so much for all the kind words and support during this time.

"Thank you for the personal letters and emails and the warm comments via social media. These acts of kindness drive our passion and we will ensure that 'The Jewel' in Wolverhampton's crown comes out of this situation fighting.

"Many patrons have been happy for the theatre to retain their ticket money and this will be credited towards a future production.

"We have also received in excess of £10,000 in donations and for this we are eternally grateful"
