Authorities involved have however apologized for the error explaining that the grievous mistake was made during the duplication process through a third-party company, Edithouse, which has also apologised.

The theatre said it had recalled about 100 DVDs after discovering the error within 48 hours of posting them.

The guardian UK quotes a spokesman as saying: 

“The Edinburgh Playhouse apologises unequivocally for any distress caused to the families affected by this totally unacceptable and unseemly mistake.”

Edithouse also released a statement through the theatre, saying: 

“Edithouse takes full responsibility for the mistakes made in the duplication process of DVDs for the Edinburgh Playhouse, which resulted in highly inappropriate and inaccurate material being sent out to a small number of Edinburgh Playhouse customers.

“We would like to apologise sincerely to the Edinburgh Playhouse for the inconvenience and, most importantly, to the children and parents affected by this terrible error. We are sorry for any distress caused.”
