I can hardly imagine anyone less suited to the role of Nicolas in One for the Road than Sher. He is going to ACT so hard. It just won't work. It needs so little obvious effort to make that as menacing as it needs to be. Sher isn't that sort of actor. He is all about showing himself as an Actor.

Apologies if this has already been asked but what's the verdict on row a?
Possible neck ache?

Neck ache is worth it for a close up with Mr Tovey....

To be fair you don't have to be up close, you'd see those ears from the merchandise stand in the foyer.

So some people on the forum are allowed to make
Comments about actors personal appearance
And others are not
Very fair and consistent approach
He can’t help his ears
I once referred to SRB
As rotund
And people shat themselves
Interesting
As obesity is usually self inflicted
From poor diet lack of exercise
And is an epidemic

Apologies if this has already been asked but what's the verdict on row a? Possible neck ache? Not on sale yet, but if it is, take the chance, the stage is rarely high at the Pinter. Onsale for £15 for under 30s, so think I'll go for it. Thanks |

Bit of a weird selection, not for full time students? What exactly is a key worker anyway - I work part time as a researcher for the NHS, does that count?

I had such a problem booking for some of these ( see above) that I have no idea what plays I did book for or who is in them. So could be a nice surprise. I did write down the dates 😀

Sir Anthony Sher and Kate O'Flynn join Paapa Essiedu and Maggie Steed in the season's explosive opening: One for the Road/ The New World Order/ Mountain Language/ Ashes to Ashes. Jonjo O’Neill in this one too. |

£15 front row seats now available for plays featuring Lee Evans This can be a mistake- as it is usually reserved for the under 30s. Better be quick. |

Lee Evans in Monologue seems to have been added to the Landscape and A Kind of Alaska group, and The Pres and an Officer has been added to the One for the Road group.

Could be a mistake but I bought £15 front row seats for The Birthday Party via TodayTix and there was no restriction on who could buy them. |

Well. Cher was not in this. I was most disappointed. I was ready to join in with the 'Dark Lady' claps too. Instead we got some portly old chap torturing lovely little Papa Lazarou instead. I shall be writing a strongly worded letter. With appropriate pauses.
I'm also amazed that Harold was such a psychic. Even though he died 10 years ago he managed to write a play about Donald Trump as President. I'm stunned Antonia Fraser didn't ask him for the lottery numbers at some point. She'd never have to write again.
Papa stole the show for me (he was wonderful and manged to show real variety) even though I really don't think I knew what was going on for most of the time. I think I should have read up on the plays before going in. It's basically a set of scenes, a bit like a nasty revue. It reminded me a little of the recent 'Machinal' at the Almeida. Maggie Steed was of course wonderful as always and Kate O'Flynn was terrific even though I couldn't get it out of my head that she sounds somewhat like Patsy Routledge as Kitty in the old Victoria Wood show.
Just a word of warning. The show is in two acts. There's a very odd curtain call at the end of the first act where everyone bows and I think lots of people thought that was the end as there were lots of empty seats after the gin break. I almost headed out with my coat on too. Well, stylish chunky cardigan actually. Papa and Kate come back on to do another scene after the interval and then only they get to bow.
For those of a nervous disposition there is blood and some bare buttocks. But they're sat on a chair so if like a squashed buttock then you will be in heaven.

Brilliant opening number by JonJo O’Neill as Michael Gove.
It was great to see Mountain Language and Ashes to Ashes for the first time for most of our party and for me since 20+ years ago at the Royal Court. Mountain Language paired really well with One for the Road which I had not seen before.
And tucked away in the middle was Jon Culshaw playing a certain US President in the newly found sketch referred to above.
Super performances all round imo.
There were 5 of us there tonight and the stars totalled 25!

Not to sound thick but I've seen on the ATG site that there are front row tickets available for £15 for the first two groups of plays in this run, but both on here and the Pinter at the Pinter site there are references to £15 tickets being for Keyworkers aged under 30. When I was looking today, the actual ticket sale site didn't suggest there were any restrictions on buying these tickets but it did seem you had to collect them from the venue rather than being able to have them posted.
My question is, are these £15 tickets available for all or are there restrictions on who can buy them? I wouldn't want to get to the theatre on the day and find that I'm going to be prevented from collecting them because I've not met some criteria I wasn't aware of. Hopefully I've not missed anything on here, did try to look through the thread before positing this.

What's the running time? I'm hoping to be able to dash to the coach station afterwards!

Hopefully I've not missed anything on here, did try to look through the thread before positing this. I bought them for a future set of plays and there was no restriction. It also offered me the option on checkout to have them posted I think, just like normal tickets, but I chose collection. When I booked they were not available for the first two sets of plays so if they have made them available now it must be deliberate and not a mistake. The first set of plays can also now be bought as Rush tickets on TodayTix. Just go for it, I doubt the box office staff will be bothered. |
