Romanoff and Juliet
Frederick Valk died on Sunday 22nd July 1956. His role was initially taken over by David Hurst, until the selection of Eric Porter as an official replacement.
Hurst subsequently took over from Peter Ustinov when the latter slipped a disc. (Hurst’s first night in the role coincided with Queen Elizabeth’s visit to see the show.) As a result, the BBC digest of the play, broadcast in THEATRE NIGHT on 28th January 1957, starred Hurst rather than Ustinov.
Josephine Barrington, having been replaced at the beginning of the West End run by Jacqueline Lacey, subsequently returned to her role, replacing Lacey.
