A fairly simple Booking process, got the same seat for all 7, officially impoverised.(Could have been a bit more generous on the multiple play discount)

Would have been officially bankrupted if I'd booked for everything, but going to The Room/Victoria Station/Family Voices in December (got the same N7 mentioned above) and A Slight Ache/The Dumb Waiter in February (the night with a Q&A with 'some cast members' after). Will probably leave it there unless amazing casting for Moonlight/Night School is announced.

Hmm, interesting cast so far but I really don't like Pinter and I'm skint. I think I'll wait for further casting news. Not even Toby Jones et al could redeem The Birthday Party for me, though.

Bold of them to start with the "One For The Road" grouping - all dour heavy-going political pieces unlikely to have wide appeal.
Their pricing is amazing - not sure who will pay £100 a ticket for some of this stuff.

Was almost put off entirely by the "pricing" structure, especially as I can only go on a Saturday. But found one N7 for Slight Ache/Dumb Waiter so that will do for me.

Booked for three of them, all at £15 in the dress circle. Based on SeatPlan the views look very good.

That pairing is a case in point. The Dumb Waiter is very good but is a 50 minute two-hander. A Slight Ache is really thin - also 50 minute two-hander - it was written as a radio play - I saw it at NT with Simon Russell-Beale and it was really not strong enough to make me want to see it again, especially as I assume Martin Freeman is playing the role. Can't see how they can sustain such high prices for that pairing in February. I'm assuming there'll be offers.

Any Pinter afficionados able to comment on the different play options?
The two that are standing out to me at the mo are the first (One For the Road / The New World Order / Mountain Language / Ashes to Ashes), although from the blurb I wonder if 4 mini plays of torture & interrogation might be a little too relentless, or the last (A Slight Ache / The Dumb Waiter).

A Kind of Alaska is a masterpiece and the best of the lot. For me The Lover / The Collection is most appealing simply because I've not seen them before - I guess many people will choose on that basis - for all the other productions I've seen at least one of the plays before.

Sorry, meant to ask, is there a triple bill missing? The blurb keeps mentioning 20 plays but the site only shows 17.

Lucky I got paid yesterday.
Anyhow nothing wrong with living frugally for a month: Bread and Water and might be able to afford Marmite.

The count of 20 is wrong anyway as they could (and have) included some of his radio and TV plays subsequently adapted for the stage. Of the one-act plays written for the stage “Silence” is missing, others too I think.

Scheduling is a bit annoying with no weekend matinees for a few of the pairings.

I've booked a few cheap seats, but when I tried to click through to get the multibuy discount I got an 'insecure connection' message so didn't do it. How much was the discount and is it worth pursuing?

According to the website, 10%, so worth more if you were buying pricier tickets!

Hmm, not sure if it'll cost more phoning them than I might get back!

The website says that these will be rehearsed readings and complete the season. The show schedule does not yet include them. So I suppose we need to keep our eyes peeled!

Dress c6 seems to be £45 Now or ateast the ones I've found so far, might be a bit late to the party for this for cheap tickets.

the £10 stuff is only in the upper parts of the house. I think the restricted stalls seats were nearly twice the price for The Birthday Party than they are for this.

Not quite - the row O pillar seats were £25 for Birthday Party (although maybe I saw a preview?) and are now £35 I think. Although maybe Row N was also £25 and now dropped to £15. Shame the same pricing isn't in place for the whole set though!
