The play was scheduled to have its North American premiere at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre earlier this year, but the run was cancelled due to rising COVID-19 cases and the implementation of capacity restrictions, border closings, and quarantines. The Olivier-winning play originally premiered in London in 2020 at the Wyndham Theatre. The production reunited Stoppard, Marber, and producer Sonia Friedman, who last collaborated on Travesties in 2017.
