Rik Mayall Withdraws From Balmoral at Theatre Royal Bath Citing Illness

Rik Mayall has withdrawn from the Theatre Royal Bath revival of Michael Frayn’s farce Balmoral due to illness, according to a report on Whatsonstage.com. Steve McNeil has assumed Mayall’s role and will play it until further notice.

Balmoral is set in 1937 in the royal residence of the title, where a warden oversees a commune of recalcitrant writers and a government inspector is about to call. The production is directed by Alan Strachan and, following its run in Bath, will tour the U.K.
