This is news to me! Is it because Hytner was going to make him read the poetry?

Wow, is this because of recasting for an extension, or have the NT fired/lost another actor a la MOTHER COURAGE? We want the Big Gamb!

You mean available, or inexpensive ? Neither I imagine. I expect Hytner is phoning his friend John Wood even now (maybe a bit too old now).

Am I the only person who has no idea what's going on here? Is Gambon now not doing Habit of Art? A little explanation would be nice.

The NT website says:

"Michael Gambon has sadly had to withdraw from Alan Bennett’s new play The Habit of Art, due to minor ill health for which he needs some time to rest. The role of W H Auden will now be taken by Richard Griffiths."
