Well DAMN. Not very interested in the season, but VERY much in favour of Eve Best.

Love the website design! Prices are not too bad but I think I'll hang on for offers for these.

The website is delightful, I've always loved those old-fashioned posters. I do wonder if there'll be dayseats (and how high the stage will be, and if there's any nudity/dogs/whatever) though, the 20,000+ tickets under £20 all appear to be way up at the back of the upper circle and I do like sitting a little closer than "hovering eighty feet above the Strand" where possible...

Well. I can't wait personally. 'Lady Windermere's Fan' is just ripe for any number of filthy puns at its expense. I'm easily pleased.

Dont want to sound glas half empty but it would have been better imo to have slotted in a Shaw or Boucicault? Do we really need all the Wildes?

Apparently he is going to move onto other playwrights, but he's starting with Wilde.

I hope this isn't a silly question, but why Classic Spring? I think even I can work out the Classic bit, but Spring?

On closer inspection TallPaul I realise I should have read it properly before answering! Now I'm as intrigued as you are! Edit: There's a little copyright thingy at the bottom and it's actually something called Classic Spring Theatre Company. |

Maybe it's like... playing off the idea that Spring is the season when things grow anew, with a little bit of "springing into life" in play, and it's just a pleasant-sounding title that suggests these old things will come fresh?

It struck me as an echo of the Arab Spring, with the West End rising from the tyranny of tat to produce popular, less exploitative theatre.

Yes don't really want to sit miles up but can't really justify stalls prices. |

I think the Arab Spring is an unfortunate reference here. Maybe he is thinking along the lines of reinventing the classics, giving them a shove into a new era. We're talking about it anyway, which must be good.
Not sure I can be bothered though.
