Christian Slater at the Golden Globes tonight - I guess his performance schedule will have changed?

Yes - the ATG booking website calendar say's he's not performing tonight but scheduled to be back on tomorrow. Not sure if he was on at the weekend?

Happy to have caught this on it's last day! Totally worth the visit, found it fairly short with the first act on for only 30 mins. I have not seen the film yet - on the watch list. Lost count on the number of 'f' words used lol. The only negative thing i am only 5'7 and i struggled with the leg room up in the upper circle!

At ATG venues I looked at Woking and Birmingham, but assume others too, there are some £13.50 tickets in the stalls.

Wow that's very last minute announcement for a tour! But I'm intrigued by this play so it may be worth looking into.

Cut your hair Nigel Harman.
I think they should do an all female version of this.
Oooooh, f*ckin' 'ell, it's a f*ckin' long f*ckin; way from f*ckin* Wake-f*ckin'-field 'ere in f*ckin* Chi-f*ckin-ca-f*ckin'-go . . .

Woking has one of the nicest theatre in the land. The theatre is indeed lovely, though I can't claim to have visited every other UK theatre for comparison purposes. However, Woking is a pain for me in travel terms but more significantly, I find the town centre so soul-destroying that I'd have to be fairly desperate to see anything there again. (There are obviously pleasant parts to Woking as with most places: I love walking along the Basingstoke Canal, though that spares you all but a brief glimpse of the town centre, but the latter, aargh...) |

Woking town centre isn’t that great, lucky it is only a short walk between the station and theatre. With a ticket at £13.50 and if you can snag. Cheap train ticket, you have a cheap show. As for me I am seeing it again in Birmingham. |

Mark Benton and Denis Conway are utter powerhouses driving this very short play. Both provide very dynamic and entertaining performances, but Conway's violet rage is a real highlight.
3 duologues form the supporting first act establishing the characters and action with a chaotic, dramatic second act where the bulk of the action takes place.
Nigel Harman's Ricky Roma felt a little plastic as did other supporting roles which made the overall journey slightly bumpy.
Despite the resolution in some characters the play abruptly ends leaving the audience inconclusively.
A short but enjoyable evening. Worth the £10 ticket.

they ARE doing an all-female version of it --- Patti LuPone is rumoured to star which makes sense given her history with Mamet.

I agree with @remark about Benton and Conway but apart from that I can’t say I enjoyed it tonight. The lightest of plots, and not even character studies unless you count the profession of real estate as a character.
Audience confused by the brevity of both acts, i barely had time to get through the top layer of my Black Magic. I heard one woman before curtain up speculating as to whether she’d manage the 10.25 train. I resisted the temptation to tell her she’d have time to go for a curry.
Stalls curtained off from row N. Circle from row H.
