James C. Nicola, the workshop's artistic director, and Lynn Moffat, its managing director, insisted that they wanted only to postpone, not cancel, the show -- despite declarations by the authors and the Royal Court Theater. Ms. Moffat decided that the workshop might need to organize nightly post-show talk-backs to provide context as it had done with plays like Mr. Kushner's ''Homebody/Kabul.'' Mr. Nicola said that they soon realized there was not enough time to work out the concerns and complete the general artistic process and informed the Royal Court that the workshop would delay the production. The Royal Court, which issued a statement, offers a different account, saying the deal was definite.
