Without a star like Mr. Isaac, the theater projected, “Measure” would make half the money that “Hamlet” would have. Mr. Horowitz also offered to back off entirely, so that Mr. Eustis would be the only artistic leader Mr. Gold needed to speak with. Theater for a New Audience canceled its “Hamlet.”The production’s move from one nonprofit theater to another is unusual. He described Mr. Gold’s response as “defensive.”Within days, Mr. Gold met with Mr. Horowitz to withdraw from the production, saying he didn’t feel supported artistically, according to Mr. Horowitz. Mr. Gold waited a little more than a week to give official word of his departure.
