why?

revivals have to go through rehearsals. Are new plays longer--i would guess only a week or more. He doesn't have to go through the workshops. And new plays don't have a longer run than revivals unless they extend and he can always leave at that point. i think the biggest challenge for a new play is learning new lines during the rehearsals and preview period, which doesn't happen for revivals.

It is technically true that he could simply swoop in and do a new play, but why would he want to do that? As is obvious, he's doing plays because he wants to, not because he needs to. I would think that he would insist on participating in the development process before signing on to an unknown property. Learning new lines is no more of a challenge for an actor that stopping the bleeding is for a surgeon: it's just what they do. I suspect DR will eventually do a new play written for him, but I also suspect that he will not have a remote relationship with the play.
