I performed this as part of my degree (in French (Dom Juan)).

^Particularly impressive as d'James in fact studied "Particle Physics." At the University of Riyadh.

Has anyone else just received their tickets? They said they weren't going out until 4 weeks before, but mine arrived at the weekend. Surprised, but pleased. Yes, mine just arrived! It's like they knew it was Christmas or something!

How did I miss this? Thanks to you delightful people I'm now in possession of a couple of monkey nests - severe case of booking regret averted

Maybe you missed it earlier when I said I had three tix going.....huh? I don't charge a booking fee and I don't ask for passwords.....

Post by Coated on Feb 5, 2017 20:13:23 GMT
Yup, I missed that too. Clearly on a mission to reduce my information intake. And how did you know that the pesky password demand nearly foiled my booking? I should remember resetting them before I start booking. Or *gasp* remember a gazillion random passwords...

Password thing is devilish. I set a theatre password with the name of the last play I saw there plus a number. Then I forget what I saw, then I reset it the same....like one of Dante's circles of hell. So I phone.
The tix I had were v good but then I got a better offer....the nice people at Delfont M allowed me to change to another date but by then I had to settle for less good seats.

Looking forward to this but shame there is no midweek matinee, the absence of these seems to be increasing or is it just me ?

My thoughts. For a first preview it is well paced, well performed, Adrian Scarborough is very good, David Tennant is pretty good, all eyes on him when he's on stage.
There are some very funny lines *no spoilers please, or use the spoiler function*.
But I really really didn't like it. I found it uncomfortable viewing. Women being used and degraded while the audience sniggers. Religion taunted while the audience sniggers. Nah, not for me, ta.
Audience full of fan girls in full on adoration of Tennant, laughing that bit too hard. Couple next to me left at the interval (the woman had checked her phone bloody twice in Act One).

That doesn't sound at all nice. Glad I made the decision not to go, despite being a Tennant fan. I had a feeling it'd be worse than Don Giovanni!

First preview so may change, but finished at 9.50. And that was with a couple of curtain calls.

Isn't it the point that he's meant to be vile? He's not a loveable rogue, he does ruin people's lives. That's why he goes to hell. I remember this coming over really well with Rhys Ifans at the Donmar but then I suppose he doesn't have crazy fangirls worshipping at his feet.

I remember this coming over really well with Rhys Ifans at the Donmar but then I suppose he doesn't have crazy fangirls worshipping at his feet. Which is why I said he and Adrian Scarborough act well in this. I didn't like the play. There's some staging that I thought was stage school pretentious (hey, let's all wear white and dance like we just don't care). My thoughts.

A bit of a materialistic question but how much are programmes? A friend of mine couldn't make the show and I promised to pick one up for him when I head to see it.

It finished at 9.42pm tonight! Lots of David Tennant fans in (of which I probably am one) who seemed to enjoy him saying the C word.
I didn't love it. Think Tennant is actually the weak link. I didn't buy him as a louche, ammoral seducer when he is playing it goofy for laughs.
I was most excited by the snippet of a Roxy Music song and that you could hire a portable phone charger for £2!
