The greed of this venue increasing ticket prices

Unbelievable

Not been discussed on here today, but there must be demand for it as the run has apparently now sold out

I popped in earlier to pick up some under 35 tickets as I work nearby. The box office staff seemed very harried!

Full cast & creatives out.

We are excited to announce the full cast for the much-anticipated production of THE FEAR OF 13 written by Lindsey Ferrentino (Ugly Lies the Bone) and directed by Justin Martin (Prima Facie).

Nana Mensah (Jaja's African Hair Braiding, Broadway, Presumed Innocent, 13 Reasons Why, Queen of Glory) will star opposite previously announced Adrien Brody (Academy Award winner for The Pianist).

The ensemble is played by Michael Fox (Downton Abbey, Little Big Mouth, Kerry Jackson, National Theatre), Aidan Kelly (Killing Eve, Stay Close, Barbarians Rising), Posi Morakinyo (For Black Boys..., Ain't Too Proud, West End, Mandela, Young Vic), Cyril Nri (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Further than the Furthest Thing, Young Vic, Trouble in Mind, National Theatre), Ferdy Roberts (Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, The Tempest, Shakespeare's Globe) and Tommy Sim'aan (A View from the Bridge, Headlong, Vigil, The Midwich Cuckoos).

The creative team includes Set Designer Miriam Buether, Costume Designer Brigitte Reiffenstuel, Lighting Designer Jon Clark, Sound Designer Ian Dickinson for Autograph, Video Designer Ash J Woodward, Composer and Music Director DJ Walde, Hair, Wigs and Makeup design by Campbell Young Associates, Associate Director Ed Burnside, Voice Coach Barbara Houseman, Dialect Coach Aundrea Fudge and Casting Director Anna Cooper CDG.

Ah, so not a one man show then.

[Being Alive]

oh Nana Mensah is GREAT - really glad I have tickets for this already.

That's good news, as it means they haven't just transcribed the original documentary, of the real guy telling his own story, and substituted Adrien Brody, which could never compare to the documentary, as it would be intrinsically less authentic.

Glad I got tickets for this! I am excited to see Nana Mensah. She wrote, directed and starred in a film called Queen of Glory which was at the London Film Festival a couple of years ago and is just the sort of little gem you hope to discover. She's super-talented.

Putting the under 35 tickets on a weekday matinee hurts me inside

Yeah, I was thinking it was going to be something like Harry Clarke (that I wasn’t impressed by): glad he has other actors to play off.

[Rory]

Makes me want to see it more, now there's a full cast. I've booked but I also want to see Brace Brace and have only one slot. Choices, choices.

[blaxx]

Does anyone know if they do a last minute / same day cancelation line and how it works?

[Dave B]

More tickets going on sale next week. 10 am Oct 02.

Sadly, the Donmar are one of those theatres that hold onto returns, rather than putting them back for online resale, when shows are Sold Out.

The Almeida does this as well. So annoying.

I hadn't realised that, sorry. I just assumed they would put it back on sale. I wonder what the rationale is for not doing that?

I got a credit and will try to see this another date. As a matter of interest I checked the Donmar Daily for next Monday at 10am (but not quite 10 on the button) and there were no tickets left. Either they had gone super fast or none had gone on sale.

Apologies meant to post re the daily Donmar tickets. A few did go on sale at precisely 10am this morning (and last Friday). This morning I saw 2 in row B of the circle at £50 and two at stage end of row C circle at £25. We did get the two in the circle. They go in a few seconds. I think they tend to hold some in the stalls and circle right at the stage ends (to clarify sight lines and pricing). I suspect these tickets will go on sale tomorrow/wednesday.. the box office confirmed also no interval so no more than 2 hours. Could not clarify further.

Just grabed one for Nov 27, seemed to be released early..

There were none at 10am for the performance I was looking for!

[greyskies]

The Donmar ticketing is infuriating. Why does it always show availability and then when you click through there are no seats? (I know that there are Access seats available sometimes, not always, but why can't it tell you this before you click through on every date?)

It's very annoying I agree.. Takes ages to check all the dates only to find no availability for any..
