Some £15 seats for Red barn for the next week or two seem to have appeared.

Any word on The Red Barn's running time? No mention on the NT website yet, I'm going to the Saturday matinee performance the weekend after next, then going to a London Film Festival screening in the evening, so was wondering how much time I'll have in between.

It's a Robert Icke show, so I'd err on the side of having a bag full of snacks rather than planning time for a leisurely dinner if I were you.

Cheers, the film I'm going to see (Dog Eat Dog) doesn't start until quarter past nine so I should still have loads of time, but didn't want to book a table anywhere until I had some some idea of when I'd be out of the NT.

I've been informed that the running time for Red Barn is around 1 hour 45 mins all the way through Damn! I booked a matinee in case this was long, but that's relatively short. Too late now, however, to get a £15 ticket for an evening performance. |

2017 season being announced tomorrow. Awkward for the NT - Rufie will find it hard to avoid answering Ian McKellen's comment at yesterday's UK Theatre Awards that a so-called National Theatre should perform throughout the nation. |

1) We're Here Because We're Here was the first time that the NT ever behaved as a national theatre, and was an excellent project.
2) NT Live doesn't count as performing throughout the nation.
3) Commercial UK tours of hit NT shows which charge high prices so as to make profits to subsidise NT South Bank doesn't count.
4) Co-productions with regional companies so as to reduce the cost of NT South Bank productions doesn't count.

I think they'll discuss more about Follies, Mosquitoes and Twelfth Night.

Indeed, with the the advent of the national theatres in wales and scotland, the "national theatre of great britain" is pretty much no more. They could do more touring but it was ever thus...

Anna Francolini, if anyone was wondering more specifically. I'm actually *more* excited now, I'm not sure how much I enjoy Sophie Thompson's performances at the best of times, but Anna Francolini has never left me down yet.  |

I'm now interested in seeing it. I've never enjoyed ST's performance on stage, although I wish her a speedy recovery

Oh poo. I rather like Sophie Thompson's "no scenery left unchewed" approach.

I had to leave She Stoops to Conquer at the Nash because she and Pemberton were outrageously chewy that I physically couldn't handle it (I am aware that makes me sound more dramatic than anybody)

Such a sensational production and an AH-MA-ZING cast - Thompson and Pemberton, Harry Haddon-Paton, Katherine Kelly, David Fynn and The Heff. It's one of the very few things I made two return visits for. |

I adored the chewiness but I totally get what snciole means.

I'd go and see it sans-ST.
She is the antithesis of "theatrical viagra" and should have her theatre career put down.
