You've got one final post to respond, iamluisfelipe, then you're both going to move on. I hope that's clear.

I wasn't referring to you, BurlyBeaR , obvs. It would be an honour to sit next to you. Unfortunately, I'm still far too young to qualify for a provincial midweek matinee.

As I only booked a few days ago, I ended up with one of the £10 banquette seats. So banquettes can now be booked in advance, our david ? The last time I went to REX they could only be booked in person on the day. You may have sold it to me, so it'd better be good. Hope I don't get anything too burly sitting next to me!

Kat Rose-Martin, the playwright, is also a really good actor. She acted Barrie Rutter off the stage in When We Are Married. Ruby Burtle, the maid, is supposed to be from Rotherham and her accent was spot on.
The world-famous Crucible Theatre has this scheme for early career creatives. Kat Rose-Martin was part of the first cohort. Whichever direction she takes, she's one to watch.

I'm sure, if they were TB members, the artistic directors of the Stephen Joseph in Scarborough and the New Victoria in Newcastle (under Lyme) would have something to add. The problem is not with the format, but with inexperienced or unimaginative directors.
In real life, we don't all stand in a straight line having a conversation.

What's The Courtyard theatre like? Rectangular and on three levels. Mostly raked seating, with single rows around the sides. Depending on what rows are sold, the first row, or two, are often below stage level, and have a price to match. Picture credit: Ian Grundy

So that's the sponsored name of what was the Factory? I think we speculated on this somewhere earlier in the thread.

Is there just a lack of interest in performing/the arts within our Asian communities? I'm sure there is an interest, but imagine telling your first generation parents, who have made huge sacrifices to give you a better life, that you want to be an actor, rather than the doctor/lawyer/accountant they had been hoping for.

Classic theatreboard though. Classic TheatreBoard is robust but respectful debate. If anyone feels they, or another member, is being 'come for', they should use the Report Post button in the right corner.

"Hello. Is that Fisherman's Friends: The Musical? It's Strictly Come Dancing here. We've got five minutes to fill on tonight's show. I know it's really short notice, but you couldn't put something together for us, could you?"

With Chrristmas coming, and presents to buy, including for ourselves, I obviously wish I could grant everyone a 50% discount, like in the days of the O2 offer. Best I can do, I'm afraid, is a 10% discount for those of us with some kind of Mastercard. Use code MC10 at checkout. The 'small' print: Offer open until 23.59 on 31 December 2023. £5 minimum and £500 maximum order value per household. www.theatretokens.com/

I've no idea what Layton's footwork was like. Couldn't see it for the flapping of his cullotes.
Lovely to see nice Dan Walker in the audience.
Ellie's almost got it in the bag. With her winnings she can buy her parents some new wallpaper!

Next time anyone wants to know what heather looks like, please ask a northerner. I could have dismissed Brigadoon within seconds.

if anyone does want to know about the current PR ticket process or the economics of YouTube, I could shed a little light on some of that. Yes please. I'd be very interested, as would many others, I'm sure.

I haven't done the math, but with Amanda withdrawing will there be three couples in the final, or just two?

I'll be booking to watch Rapunzel. It's a show where you can definitely let your hair down.

It's going to be quite the year for Nottingham Playhouse and Adam Penford.
The world premiere of James Graham's The Punch in May, then this new production of Dear Evan Hanson in September.

Professional UK productions of Hello, Dolly! are so few and far between I'm not sure how anyone knows what a typical Irene Malloy should be.

...venues to be announced As benny20 has already done, I think we can safely predict at least three of the venues.
