I saw this on Monday and Peter Forbes did recover but Kiren Kebali-Dwyer (the guy who loses his hand) had to step in (reading the script morning of) chaotic indeed! Interesting because I feel like these things (cast stepping in last minute) happen more often at the Young Vic, maybe just a coincidence but still.
Yes, it's happened a few times at the Young Vic. Last year, there was an emergency replacement at the performancem of The Little Foxes I went to, and I've definitely seen stand-ins at other shows too. I guess that's the risk, particularly at this time of year when flu is rife!
