I love Josh Malina, I guess this must've been born out of their time working with one anouter on Leopoldstadt.

I have sat in AA1 and it was not at all a restricted view. I've seen maybe 5 shows there over the past couple of years and I can't think of one offhand where this seat would have been really restricted - especially for the price difference. I'd pick that over the back rows myself but it is also a nice small space so I suspect the back rows are also just fine. |

Will go for these and make it into a double-bill with Godot (when I’m already in London with a free evening). |

I caught the matinée of this yesterday (mostly because I'm a Doc Martin fan and wanted to see Caroline Catz!). I thought it was really good. I'm not sure it adds much more to the debate about the crisis in the Middle East, but it seemed to put across the issues in a balanced way (although I certainly cannot claim to know the detailed nuances of the conflict) and was an admirable attempt to show both sides (albeit exclusively from within the Jewish community). Apart from the political/social arguments it was just genuinely entertaining and thought provoking. It was well acted and engrossing and kept my interest in a way many plays in the West End have failed to do recently. My one quibble would be with the ending which felt a little out of tone with the rest of the piece and perhaps undermined the seriousness of the preceding discussions.
I definitely recommend taking a trip to Marylebone to see it. It's such a small theatre every seat will give you a good view. I think there are 4 dates with Q&A's following them and I may go back to try and catch one of them.

I saw The Government Inspector from the front row (in this case row A) there in May this year. The view was fine, as was the leg room. Pity I couldn't say the same about the production!

I saw this yesterday and thoroughly recommend it. It is both very funny and fascinatingly topical given current events in the Middle East - though Gaza is only one part of a wide-ranging discussion of what being Jewish means in the modern world. It's about two friends meeting after a gap of several decades. There are two couples, both American, one liberal progressives in Florida and one orthodox Haredim now based in Israel, and it just has them discussing, arguing, reminiscing. I was interested at quite how hostile the US-based couple were to Israel, which seemed to be based on a longer-term animosity not just the events of the past year. There is some very dark humour in there. I saw it the day after seeing the equally brilliant Giant and it doesn't suffer by the comparison. Good to see a largely full house at the Marylebone theatre in the afternoon.
