Bates's final performance was 7 February 1976. Michael Gambon took over the role on 9 February. Also, the 31 July entry in Pinter's appointment diary for 1976 indicates ‘Last Night O E Cast’ and the 2 August entry indicates ‘1st night new O E Cast’. The new cast was likely the one that went on to New York.

Performer: Alan Bates (1934 - 2003)
