Further to my blog entries last week about the cancelled previews and press night for Howard Brenton’s Paul at the National’s Cottesloe Theatre following the illness of Paul Rhys in the title role, it has now been confirmed that he is withdrawing from the production. A new press night has just been announced for November 9, with previews resuming from November 1, with Adam Godley – currently playing a minor role in Mike Leigh’s Two Thousand Years – replacing Rhys.
