Not up to scratch? Poor ticket sales? Wonder what the real reason is…

Interesting. I read it as worry about causing offence, 'cancel culture', etc. The play is about 'inclusion and difference' and 'has evolved in rehearsal, provoking new ideas and considerations inspired by contributions from the cast and the creative team to deepen insights into the experiences of those who have been historically excluded.' To me that suggests someone was unhappy with some aspect of the way inclusion/exclusion was presented and they've not found a way to resolve this without a big rewrite.

That statement sounds like they've had a proper crisis. Nobody pulls a show that was due to open in a week and a half and abandon the money already spent on rehearsals and publicity, as well as refunding all the tickets unless something's gone catastrophically wrong in the rehearsal room.

There is definitely a lot of 'between the lines' stuff in that statement.

Assuming it's genuine, a post under The Stage's article about the postponement is from Stacey Abalogun (one of the - former - cast members) and simply says:
Lies they should tell the truth.
Doesn't sound great. I wonder if more will emerge...
