Monkey nests are £12.50 Apologies for a stupid question, but what's meant by 'monkey nests'? Do you just mean high/balcony seats generally, or are you talking about specific locations? |

Balcony A5 and 26 - see attached both for origins of name and full description of seats! www.theatremonkey.com/WYNDHAMSbooking.htm#BA |

Never apologise. I've learn't over the last few months that (within reason) there is no such thing as a stupid question on TheatreBoard. As I understand it when people write about 'monkey nest' seats at the Wyndhams, they are referring to A5 and A26 in the balcony (very top level). They are separate from others on A row, and you have to sit sideways. |

Thanks for the info Hmmm. Seats seem good, and £12.50 is an absolute bargain. On the other hand, in all honesty a main draw for me would be a chance to see a master like Jeremy Irons on stage, and the reviews from Bristol seem to suggest that he wasn't on form and forgetting lines (and, oddly, said that he would only transfer to National or to New York) so perhaps it might be a disappointment. |

If I was going to be disappointed, as a Yorkshireman, I'd much prefer be disappointed after spending £12.50, rather than £98.50!

Only time I've seen Jeremy Irons on stage was in Isabella Rossellini's tribute to Ingrid Bergman at the Royal Festival Hall a couple of years ago - I wouldn't call him a master going by that, he was a bit too, er, mannered to be honest (I would say hammy but the sun is out and its payday so I might have guilt pangs later about being mean to him 😛) |

I saw this in Bristol and there was no forgetting of lines on that night. It was an excellent production although, as good as Irons was, I thought Lesley Manville was the star of the show. |

Oh how exciting. Remind me to schedule a call half way through the show to see if he goes the full Patti. Who do you THINK you ARE? In all honesty, I'm only going to see this to complete the family trio. I'll have seen husband, wife and son then. Is that some kind of theatre top trump? |

The things Sinead has put up with over the years, allegedly. I've seen Mr & Mrs Godber performing together. That must be worth a bonus point, surely? |

Come guys who saw this in Bristol, is it really good? Be honest. Yes, with cast and a director you would have expected to see at the National or the Almeida. It is London-worthy, if that's what you mean. I've seen it twice before, in the 90s, once with Timothy West and Prunella Scales (and young Stephen Dillane) at the National and then at the Young Vic with Richard Johnson and Penelope Wilton, both very good, but I think this Bristol one has the edge. |

Grabbed a monkey nest for early March. Read the play in my first year of uni but have yet to see it performed.

That Tim & Pru NT production also did a short UK tour and I saw it at Bristol Old Vic! When Richard Eyre became AD of the NT he co-produced several Lyttelton shows with regional theatres and toured them as part of their Lyttelton run. Of course, the BOV stage and seating configuration is different now. |

Don't think I'll be able to handle the poor comfort of a monkey nest for how long this play is. Will wait to try and grab front row day seats.
