The successful theatre company had no cash flow after Covid-19 hit.
Shakespearean theatre company the Pop-Up Globe owes $728,000 and was insolvent at the time it failed, the first liquidators’ report on the business says.
The liquidators hope to sell the business as a going concern and are in early discussions with a group of parties who may have an interest in taking it forward, the report said.
Company founders Dr Miles Gregory and Tobias Grant put their entities Pop-Up Globe Foundation and Pop-Up Globe Melbourne 1 into voluntary liquidation on March 3, after the homegrown theatre phenomenon became “a victim of Covid-19’s wrecking ball”.

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.
