Nothing to do with the sh*t reviews And half empty papered theatre then Having to read your boring, repetitive and downright dull opinions on how much you hate everything is one thing, but your lack of sympathy for others with comments like this one is another. Between this comment and the one calling the Bridge theatre ‘twattish’ for having gender neutral toilets to have a positive impact on the mental wellbeing of transgender and non binary people (a community where mental health issues and suicide rates are through the roof) just makes you look like an all round terrible human, just FYI.

Hope she recovers soon. This really was a turkey but I for one don't see a reason to doubt Suranne Jones' honesty or the professional integrity of her medical practitioner. Just seen this over on twitter. I hope she has some time off to recover now. Likewise I don't doubt this- there's no sense in missing the last couple after doing most of the rest of it, sometimes however life and illness happens. It was a long run of a play about a tough subject. It is bound to make anyone feel run down. I think playing to empty houses must be depressing but she was paid and always has something going on once one unsuccessful project finishes.

Was it really playing to empty houses, or papering though? I wasn’t that excited about seeing it, but every time I looked on Today Tix (not recently, to be honest) - the only ‘cheap’ seats were up in the Gods, so (Heaven forbid) maybe she was actually Ill rather than worrying about Parsley’s worthless opinions?

Have you not noticed that Parsley always has detailed inside information on ticket sales ? I think we can assume that information is correct.

Parsley was also telling us that Bend It Like Beckham was the future of theatre - I rest my case, m’lud 😛

I appreciate that parsley speaks with confidence when it comes to his stating how well a show has or hasn't sold, but I've never seen anything other than his confidence to suggest he has inside info?

When I saw it about three weeks ago the house was very nearly full only a few odd seats empty as far as I could see.

Well I didn’t think it was possible, but it actually happened. Tickets for sale on a Facebook buy/sell group because someone thought it was Disney’s Frozen. I sometimes wonder how these people function in society. (No personal information is in the attached screenshot and I have nothing to do with the actual sale, I just couldn’t believe my eyes) Hilariously predictable, this must have happened previously just noone wanted to publicise their foolishness

There were some papering deals to be had but in very niche places associated with the theatre (Please don't kill me, Theatre Monkey)and I didn't see any towards the end of its run.
Maybe my sources aren't as good as Parsley's but whilst it is fair to say shows paper or heavily discount it isn't always that easy to get tickets for shows you want to see, most allow for only certain capacity anyway (particularly at fringe level) and thus don't need to paper if it is selling but not as well as Hamilton.

I didn't book for this but have a couple of friends who did, I think largely on the basis of their fondness for Dr. Foster. I thought some deals might came my way, but they didn't.
