The actor Taron Egerton has said he will return to the stage “with a vengeance” on Monday night after he fainted during the first performance of his West End debut in the play Cock by Mike Bartlett.
Egerton, best known for his screen role as Elton John in Rocketman, passed out on stage towards the end of the preview on Saturday night at the Ambassadors theatre. A doctor in the audience attended to the actor and it was decided that his understudy, Joel Harper-Jackson, should replace him for the remainder of the show.
