Therese Raquin Performance Canceled After Keira Knightley Sustains 'Minor Injury'

Due to Keira Knightley suffering a "minor injury," the evening performance of Thérèse Raquin has been canceled on October 7. Roundabout hopes to resume performances again tomorrow. It has not been the easiest of Broadway debuts for the Oscar nominee—a heckler disrupted her first preview in the production. Directed by Evan Cabnet, the show is scheduled to officially open on October 29 at Studio 54.

The cast also includes Gabriel Ebert, Judith Light, Matt Ryan, David Patrick Kelly, Jeff Still, Glynis Bell, Ray Virta, Mary Wiseman, Alex Mickiewicz and Sara Topham.

Based on the novel by Émile Zola and penned by Helen Edmundson, a quiet young woman with a restless spirit, Thérèse (Knightley) submits to a loveless life at the side of her weak and selfish husband Camille (Ebert) and her controlling mother-in-law Madame Raquin (Light)…until she meets his childhood friend Laurent (Ryan). When their overwhelming passion spins violently out of control, they realize that love can be a dangerous game, and sometimes there is no winner.

Broadway.com customers with tickets to the canceled performance will be contacted with information on refunds or exchanges.
