Will the drama ever end?

Looks like Julie Taymor’s play Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is about to experience even MORE problems, now that actress Natalie Mendoza is leaving the production.

Mendoza played Arcachne, a villain invented by Taymor, but after suffering a concussion on Nov 28 when “a rope holding a piece of equipment swung into her,” she’s decided to call it quits.

An official exit statement from the actress is reportedly in the works, and may be released as soon as later on today.

Her role will be taken over by her understudy, America Olivo.

Good luck, America! And BE CAREFUL!
