firstwetakemanhattan were you on the front row of the left stalls? I was in A38. I was wondering if you’d grabbed the return next to me...

Yes indeed I was! A39.

[kathryn]

Damn, should have said hello!

Yes what a shame! Certainly would have done had I have known you were from the board.

I’ll be trying to return a ticket for Saturday’s final matinee when the box office opens tomorrow at 10am. So if anyone is after a return, keep an eye on the website then, in case they pop it back online.

Someone on Twitter has mentioned that this is getting a transfer. Theatre Gods, please make it so!

Well deserved it’s a brilliant play! Although with Clare Perkins in Emilia I wonder whether she will be able to join a week in, or whether they will recast. She was one of the highlights for me.

Booked a seat slap bang in the middle of Row B in the stalls for £27.50. I don't think the Gielgud's stage is too high (trying to recall, from seeing Company in Row E). Delighted with the news of this transfer. I can't wait to see this.

Ditto in all respects.  That is amazing value.

Clare Perkins appears to be the only one not in the production photos. So I guess that means she won't be transferring too. Shame

[QueerTheatre]

Also booked a row b for £27.25 and am thoroughly excited! I nromally don't bother with Donmar transfers as its such a small space it can feel odd seeing something then so blown up - but being this close hopefully i wont notice!

[TallPaul]

The DMT seating plan is quite confusing. The most expensive seats are almost the same shade of green as the very cheapest!

Is Martha the only cast member transferring or is it all of them (bar Clare)?

Great news. She was amazing and it wouldn't be the same without her.

I have tried to find a thread, but can't find one.

Well this was astonishing! Such a brilliant brilliant play and so devastating.

It's about a small town in Pittsburgh and its inhabitants, all of whom work in the local factory. But capitalism rears its head and the threats of the factory closing impacts on the lives of the whole community. 

It's trying to explain why people vote for Trump but it puts working class lives in the spotlight.

It was just an amazing play with amazing performances. Martha Plimpton is incredible as is the young man who plays her son (fantastically quick make up changes too!).

I sobbed and sobbed at the end at the sheer hopelessness of it all. I can't stop thinking about it. It feels so real and true.

I'd really recommend it.

Saw it first time around at the Donmar. Its wonderful so recommend it as well!

Saw it at the Donmar, becoming more apt over the last few weeks, Ford pulling out of Bridgend and Honda in Swindon, the hearts of communities continue to be torn out. The myth that the vacuum will be filled by other Industries is destroyed if you travel just a few miles from Bridgend into the Valleys above which are now primarily ghost or satellite towns.

Without transformation (making something) relying on services to support services is a perpetual motion ponsi scheme which seems to be our Government Policy, hating Trump as much as I do, his Pro-American manufacturing support at least has some basis in value generation even though he has no clue on how to do it strategically and the likelihood that his methods will probably achieve the opposite.

Sat in Row B on Saturday and being so close made it even more powerful!

Absolute bargain.

Brilliant, thanks for that anniel

Hopefully not a high stage!

This is my very first post. I've been reading the forum for some time now, so just as well I registered now.

I want to see Sweat in Gielgud and I am looking at the cheapest seats. Which is the best option for this production, the very back of the stalls or the side slips in Dress? I've been reading comments on seatplan.com but I still cannot make up my mind. The slips are better for seeing the actors expressions which is always better for plays but am I going to miss parts of the play? Also, am I going to annoy people behind me - it seems that I will have no option but keep leaning forward constantly? Finally, which side of the slips is best for this specific production?

My final option is to get a day seat, I work just around the corner and I could pop out at 10.30 am. I don't suppose the day seat queue is that competitive for this play?

Thanks
