Richard Griffiths missing from ‘Equus’ on Saturday
 

A woefully unprepared understudy took Richard Griffiths’ place for last Saturday’s matinee and evening performances of Equus. Stand-in Colin Haigh is reported to have read the entire script during the whole play.

lucky understudy but were was he???

1st 2 post* :woot: ;)

I believe they will post, too. Yes, where was he? I'm very curious.

Oh wow... good luck! :D

I hope nothing bad happen to him.

Where was he? I'm so curious!

Whe was he ?? Was he sick or something

No way! OMG at least it wasn't dan. I bet the play was awful without him lol. (no effence dan I love you) I heard this play was absolutely magnificent manely because of Richard's and DAniel's chemistry together. Oh well, hope he doesn't miss any more!

*wonders why* If they had an understudy... you'd think he'd be prepared... tsk tsk. *giggles* :lol:

Wow, I could never imagine paying to see a play and having an understudy on stage reading his lines! How unprofessional and disappointing.

On another note ... I hope all is well with Richard Griffiths. *Sending him good thoughts* :D

That would stink to be that Understudy

Wow, I wonder where he was!

wow... what kind of understudy is that? :erm: I'd be so angry is I spent a ton of money on tickets for the show and got Richard Griffith's crappy understudy.... Oh ho.....

Wow what happened? I hope Richard is well and it's nothing serious. It's awful that the understudy was so unprepaired. That's not fair to those who went to see the play and the understudy was standing there reading from the scrpit while every one else knew their lines :no:. It must really have taken away from the show. <_<

I would suck to fly all the way to England to see the play and to get stuck with an understudy doing the part. Hopefully Richard is okay.

At least Richard isn't filling in for Dan. *snark*

I wonder what happend to him I hope it was nothing bad [:/]

wow bad job of the understudy I hope he Richard is ok though I am really curious to know why he wasnt there

ya they should tell us where he was now...

odd! Hope he's alright! Shame the audience missed seeing him! We wish you well and hope Richard is well!

Well, the understudy probably got a chewing out for a poor performance and I am sure the audience was disappointed not to see Richards. he may not be feeling well, or he could have layrngitis. Doing several shows a week can put a strain on the vocal cords.
