I thought this was dreadful. It did nothing to make you care about the characters. Actually, there were no actual characters, it was just a bunch of people on a stage saying stuff. As an earlier reviewer said, it felt like something that had been thrown together for the Edinburgh Fringe.
I genuinely think this could be the worst thing I've ever seen.

If I hadn't seen Sylvia this would be the worst thing I had seen.

What the heck is this 'check in online now' thing you have to do with this theatre? Is this a thing at Nimax venues? Is it a 'post-covid' thing? I've never had to do that before?

They should have an option ”mind your own business” What?! So you don't even get an eticket anymore when you pay, you have to wait until hours before the show. Ridiculous service.

Indeed not - I'm travelling for work from this afternoon, back late on Friday evening, and up at 4.45am on Saturday for the flight down to Stanstead. As I can't be guaranteed to sort out an e-ticket, I've opted for box office collection - I'm hoping it means I might actually get a physical ticket, you know, like we used to in The Good Old Days pre-pandemic!

Oh it is nice to come on here and find other people hated it too
I think the play tried to be too clever, but there was no depth, no character development
I love Emma, if she wasn't in it, I would probably give it a zero stars review
I think having 4/5 stars plastered outside the theatre is meaningless & misleading nowadays
Everyone and their mother seems to have a 5 star review

I've rated it 3* largely because of Emma, who was great. Otherwise, as others have said, it was lacking in depth and felt a bit rushed. Still, when I exchanged my tickets for a different performance, Nimax gave me better seats than the ones I'd paid for (without charging me extra) so it wasn't all bad.

Well, I will never know how restricted or otherwise the view from seat O7 was - as I managed to nab an upgrade!
As I'd mentioned, I was collecting my ticket from the box office, and they upgraded me to G4 - a check on TheatreMonkey's site after the even reveals this to be exactly next to the Premium £100+ seats! So, *superb* seat for £45!
I thought this was... OK? I didn't mind the Greek Chorus of Virginias actually, I thought that was quite interesting, but it felt very episodic, and without an overarching narrative arc, and then it just sort of...ended?
Corrin was superb, as was Deborah Findlay.
And not the worse thing I saw this weekend, not by a long way...
