Am I correct in thinking that The Tempest is a family show with no reductions for children? Can't see how to get any when I try to book o the website.

If the revivals of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and 'Art' go ahead too at the Old Vic this year, it would an impressive year for the theatre. I've not heard about them. I'd have thought every actor one wanted to see in it had already been in Art - I'd be amazed if they could get a cast to sell out the Old Vic with it (I enjoyed it very much with Finney, Courtney and Stott). As for R and G, it's had a recent Nunn production in the West End and I got the impression that it didn't do too well. Does it need another revival; it's the sort of thing that would need top-name casting to succeed, i.e. an ex-Potter actor or two...

Some good things here, a great improvement, as others have said, on this year. The Peter Pan is wonderful, incidentally - though Sally Cookson's 101 Dalmatians is even better. Good to hear young writers being pushed. Excited about Ivo van Hove and Antony and Cleopatra with Ralph - and I wonder who as Cleopatra - and the Chekhovs. Yes Angels in America is great. The only oddity in my view is Amadeus which is relatively undemanding fare...he said, trying to stir up some controversy.
