Gone in a fortnight
Between two and sixteen performances — long enough to have had a second night, short enough that the notice went up in the first week. 2,653 productions of shows this catalogue holds a full record for. Concerts and one-man bills are excluded, because a two-night stand-up show is not a flop.
