The story of this particular day Before The Lockdown is of missed opportunity.
On this day we had booked to see Paul Nicholls (building on his growing reputation as a skilled stage actor) and the estimable and already well established Clare Higgins in Phaedra at the Donmar Warehouse in London. Shortly before it opened it was announced that Paul Nicholls had to be replaced and his part taken on at very short notice by the slightly less experienced Ben Meyjes
As I recall it was a perfectly good play if somewhat prejudiced by the lack of one of our favourite up-and-coming actors, and as good as Ben was, he couldn't offer quite the same energy and intensity that Paul had developed through his previous work, which would have been supplemented by the fact that he had previously worked with Clare Higgins in Vincent In Brixton. Indeed, as one reviewer at the time noted: "Nicholls would have created the chemistry for this to work".
Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons although returning to TV and Film, Paul didn't appear on stage again until 2016 in a touring production of The Shawshank Redemption
in 2006
One thing you have to learn about advance booking for the theatre is that you are booking for the play and not the actor!
