Frank Langella is to leave Over The Moon after eight weeks.
Given the relatively poor reviews which the play has received, and the un-chivalrous reactions to Joan Collins' performance in particular, this might be seen as leaving Miss Collins somewhat in the lurch.
Frank Langella's role as an inebriated actor who appears costumed and ready for the wrong play (appearing as Cyrano de Bergerac on the set of Private Lives) is to be played by Michael Cochrane.
