As reported by BroawayWorld earlier this week, Sam Troughton, who plays Romeo in the Royal Shakespeare Company's Romeo and Juliet at the Park Avenue Armory, sustained a knee injury during a performance on July 12. After the audience was led out of the theatre, understudy Dyfan Dwyfor took over. Now, according to the NY Times, Troughton had to have arthroscopic knee surgery following the injury.

Troughton commented: "My time in New York so far has been brilliant, and performing at the armory for such generous and enthusiastic audiences a thrill, so it is extremely disappointing to have suffered this injury. I'd like to wish Dyfan all the best and thank everyone for their support and good wishes including the fantastic medical team, with whose continued care I intend to defy the stars and return to the stage as soon as possible."
