Now postponed to 2027, but kudos to The Bridge Theatre for this:

"If you're not ready to commit to a date next year we'll happily hold your booking to be used either for Ivanov next year or as credit for any other production at The Bridge. (Naturally, we won't apply 2027 price rises to the new dates for Ivanov.)"

I continue to be impressed and grateful for how easily one can return or exchange tickets with so many London theatres and am happy to pay the nominal fee involved in doing so.

A year's postponement with no reason given?

He did the same thing at Williamstown years ago.

Pine, for Fool for Love in 2014.

Not quite the same. He dropped out of FOOL FOR LOVE, as did his announced co-star, Lauren Ambrose. The show went on with Sam Rockwell and Nina Arianda taking over.

Let's see if he actually does this in a year.

Does this say anything about celebrity casting?

Is he so great that they couldn't just re-cast?

I didn't offer the whole email, but it mentioned an unanticipated scheduling conflict.
