Cant get excited by this! Saw the Chixester production at TRH few years back with Jamie Parker, it was ok. Plus Radcliffe is not a good actor im afraid

I agree with Martin, it was just okay. I thought the play itself was at fault. Much as I love Stoppard this one seemed more smart alecky than smart. A youthful work in every way.

I found the Parker/Barnett version insufferable, mainly because of the script. The conceit is amusing enough to sustain a ten-minute student revue sketch - it felt painfully overextended at two hours.

The fault might be in direction then, certainly not in the play, 'cause a film with Oldman/Roth from years ago is a riot! I adore the text, just reading it makes laugh out loud - I find it supper witty, fresh and endlessly amusing.

Er, I've just been on the site (10:50) logged in and it let me buy tickets! And I'm not a Priority member. Lucky! I logged on about 11.30, was quite surprised to find I reached the front of the queue well before 12. I followed Monkey advice to select date and wait..Managed to book shortly after 12 even though I was using my phone, which I never like in these situations. All quite smooth thanks to their queueing system, though I would ideally have had more of a look around at availability if I'd had the chance to use a PC. |

Yep, same. Logged on early (with regular refreshing to make sure I didn't get logged out), had my date selection all ready to go, was all checked out by 2 minutes after 12. |

Left the queue on whilst I had to pop out and was into booking when I got back, only had a search a few dates before spotting that illustrious Q34 pillar seat in the stalls (thanks theatremonkey!!). Day before press night, £21, happy as Larry!

Q34 for me also. I'm either easily led or recognise wisdom when I see it!

I started to laugh when she gave me all the prices..she went cheap to expensive and I couldn't see it ending...silly prices. Anyway, I booked after I asked her to start again.

Snapped and have bought a Q pillar seat too as it has been getting a bit dicey getting those preview tickets when at work in a meeting. Will comfort myself with the fact that it will be valuable knowledge to see what I think of the view.

That's my reasoning too, peggs. I can't be doing with the hassle of the £10 ones anymore. I've gone for one of my dress circle £21 faves instead.

Have the Old Vic said when the £10 preview tickets go on sale for the above show? I remember having a conversation with a friend about this - from the top of my head and without checking, I think it was 16th Jan. The info is definitely on their website though |

The 16th sounds about right. No info on the OV website. You can sign up for notifications about the previews, which I've done. But they don't seem to be very good at sending emails out
