At first glance it doesn't sound thrilling but the Bristol reviews were excellent and, as it's Rylance, I imagine it will do very well.

Yes the topic isn't immediately appealing but it's Rylance and I'll definitely always make the effort to see him when I get the chance.

I was told by someone they had been considering a name change to make the play a more easy sell in town... Obviously didn't happen.

I tried the ATG members presale for this, but I couldn't see any good seats at prices I wanted to pay, so I patiently waited for the National Theatre Priority sale at noon today. Straight in, but it's just a poorer selection of seats.
ATG have form for releasing the front rows later on, so I think I'll bide my time until row C is released. Or is that being sold through another agency?
Quite why all selling portals can't access and share the same inventory in 2023, is anyone's guess.

Behind a pillar in the royal circle for £65. I remember the days when the stalls “pillar” seats were £5 each….I must be getting old(er!)  |

I unexpectedly recieved a priority sale link from Love Theatre today and couldn't resist getting a seat for £11.40, even if it is a balcony seat with a not so great view.

It's Rylance, so I think people will flock no matter what they call it.
I notice that none of the front rows have been sold, so I wonder if they'll do day seats as per Jerusalem.

I think I'm going to wait for the two front rows to go on sale. Even tho I have a voucher, prices are a bit too high for a decent seat.

Probably a good call. I see the 2 back rows of the stalls are not on sale atm. Never sat there so can't comment on the overhang.

I have no idea! Mine was a wish more than anything lol. I’m just hoping it will be like Jerusalem and the front will be day seats…

I can't go next week (already two theatre trips) but I'll try Friday rush next week, definitely for DR S. If you get them can you let me know where the seat will be?

I was surprised to see tickets to Dr S included but fortunately I was already in the queue for rush tickets when I noticed. I managed to get Row E tickets at the edge of dress circle. |

I saw people apparently loading in on Friday. Not a lot of time to tech before performances.

I saw this on Friday, and thought it very good but whilst I did enjoy it I think it should/will become slicker as they get into this run. Parts of it are fast paced and frantic in dialogue and I thought it became a bit disjointed in sections. Mark Rylance was excellent, along with Pauline McLynn and Alan Williams but I found some of the rest of cast a bit wooden - his wife, particularly.
The ballet worked really well throughout and really added to the energy and worked well as an allegory to the narrative.
I'd be interested in hearing others views.
Also I have a spare single ticket tonight that anyone is welcome to (balcony).

Although the subject matter is obviously very worthy I thought the core material a bit stretched because it is (naturally) very Semmelweis-centred. Rylance gives a great performance, as is to be expected, but I do sometimes wish he'd choose a more "boring" character to inhabit. Can't remember the last time I saw him acting with a straight bat.
The music and dance works a treat and, together with the lighting in particular, creates a great period effect and atmosphere. The stage does look a bit cluttered at time with the large cast on stage, especially when there's dancing on the sides. I do wonder whether a wider stage might not have been more effective?
Very good supporting performances from the cast, especially Pauline Mclynn as the nurse Anna Muller. A treat to watch all in all.

I liked it very much. I just wish the days seats weren't caught up with the National's as I'd rather not sit in an enormous queue.
