Starcrossed - Wilton's Music Hall

This does seem to be getting rave reviews all over the place which is fab. Great to learn about a new gay play particularly when it is so well received.

Will look out for the script to add to my collection

My first time at this venue and oh my god it's gorgeous. Dilapidated but in the best way. The show was poorly sold when I was there too - maybe 10 people total in the balcony? They moved everyone to the front of the stalls and centre of the balcony so it was nice to have a better view than I paid for, but must be awful for the actors to look out and see so many empty seats.
We had the understudy for 'The Player', who plays everyone except the main couple, and he did phenomenally. It might have been his first show? But he was a total scene stealer every time he was on stage. Overall I really liked the play itself. Some very sweet moments but a depressing ending that can't really be avoided (unless they felt like deploying the & Juliet approach to Shakespearean deaths). Act 1 did feel about four times as long as Act 2, though? I still don't really know why. But for great performances all round, a nice twist on Shakespeare, and a hidden gem of a venue, it's definitely worth a ticket.
