Love her, really perpetually unconvinced by him. Indeed. Freeman is both unconvincing to me as an actor (his Dick, I thought was dire) and although I normally have no problem separating the person and actor, there's just something I don't like about him as a person that tends to bleed into his performances for me. I just feel very uncomfortable watching him. But also he's also (IMO) been uniformly 'meh' in a lot of things.
Shame as I do love James Graham as well.

Ooh matron! Frankly a good run of Dick jokes are all I got from that production. I didn't even get the covering of blood I was promised. |

At the risk of attracting further smut, I've seen too little Of Martin Freeman to know whether he convinces me as an actor or not.

I wondered if that might be the case, yes. I'm an aisle seat or nothing person, so knew I had to get in fast! If people aren't so bothered about that then there will definitely be bargains to be had nearer the time. I don't think that was the case. From memory the whole of Row H was available in advance for all of those productions in that season. I know because I bought them when they went on sale  I checked multiple dates last night (all Saturday matinees and several weekday evenings, just in case they differed) and it was the same 4 seats (2x2) in the dress circle on sale for every date; except where they'd been sold, where the entire row showed greyed out...? |

Looks like all the decent £10 seats have gone so took a couple of slip seats in November. Wasn't prepared to pay more but looking forward to seeing Sarah Lancashire in a play.

I came late to this so have missed all the £10 rear dress circle seats but I clicked through every date and found three separate performances with one £10 stalls seat so managed to get one for a Wednesday matinee in October. Just hope it's worth the trip, although I may fit something in in the evening as my cheapish train ticket isn't valid for return until after 7pm.

I don't get how it's a pre-sale, considering it's already been on sale for a few weeks? What did I miss?

She's from Doncaster, don't you know.

'The drunk monkey who came to babysit' sounds like a Judith Kerr book. Coming to a Nimax theatre next summer!

Opening night moved from 15 Sep to 27 Sep. Press night moved from 25 Sep to 3 Oct, which means I'm now going to a preview. Was hoping to switch to a later performance but nothing much available in the front stalls on any of the days I can go  |
