West End run of Rabbit Hole postponed due to "scheduling issues"

According to The Stage, the upcoming West End run of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Rabbit Hole has been postponed. Matthew Hemley reports this is due to "scheduling issues."

It had been announced that Nigel Harman would direct Joanne Froggatt in the production. Rabbit Hole was supposed to run at the Vaudeville Theatre between Thursday 11th September and Saturday 22nd November.

Luckily it's not all bad news as Forbidden Broadway will transfer to the Vaudeville Theatre (following its run at the Menier Chocolate Factory) for a limited run between Tuesday 9th September and Saturday 22nd November 2014. 

Producers Creative Management and Productions, James Quaife Productions and Celia Atkin have released a statement which reads: "Our production of Rabbit Hole will be postponed from the planned September opening at the Vaudeville Theatre as due to a late shift in schedules, it is unable to go ahead at this time.”
