'Apparently you're meant to actually do the full show and not just three quarters of it,' Egerton writes to his IG Stories on Sunday (via toofab)
The audience in attendance was also given an update after waiting for 40 minutes, with the play's director Marianne Elliott coming out to tell them that he was"absolutely fine." It was just an abundance of caution that kept him off the stage the rest of the performance.
Egerton took to his Instagram Stories on Sunday to confirm that he was, in fact,"completely fine," with a statement of his own. "Slightly sore neck and a bruised ego but I'm fine," he wrote as part of a larger, and light-hearted, exploration of what happened. "I've decided to put a positive spin on it and I would appreciate it if anyone who was in the theatre last night just said that I gave such a committed, electrifying performance that my body couldn't handle it and checked out," he wrote.
