“I’m completely fine. My neck hurts and I’m bruised all over, but I’m fine.
“I’ve decided to put a positive opinion on it and I would appreciate it if anyone who was in the cinema last night just said I gave a committed performance and so full of electricity that my body can’t handle it, and test that. Granted, it sounds like you want to actually do the whole program, not just 3/4. So I’ll be back. with vengeance tomorrow night.
“Thank you to the amazing team at the theater and to my wonderful co-stars for being so lovely.

“But mostly I want to say thank you to Joel Harper Jackson, who played the final part of the play.
“Joel is a great actor and a lovely person. Thank you, Joel. Tx.”
