will affect franchise as a whole, considering the disturbing nature of
the role and the play)

1) It is a stage play; those just do not appear on the radar for most
Americans.

2) It's in the UK. They're grownups over there, they can take it.

Sigh, I wish I could agree with you on that. Unfortunately, there are
way too many parents on both sides of the ocean (although I will admit,
particularly the US), who, upon hearing Dan will be appearing nude on
stage, might censor HP in their households.

As I mentioned above, much of the publicity surrounding this event will
be primarily focused on the nudity issue as well as the disturbing
subject matter of the play.
