Agreed, it's a really fun show that I've happily seen twice now - particularly good cast, set design, and great set pieces - but I think it was Gilles Geary on as Dr Brenner this week, if I'm not mistaken? Double checked the cast list on the website and for Wednesday night it was indeed Mark Hammersley on as Brenner… Gilles Geary was instead Hopper! How do you check the cast list online? (Rather than the standard cast) After traipsing round the building I found the cast board was broken so I have a blurry photo of a piece of paper. Loved the show. Had planned to watch stranger things first (as I nearly managed with harry potter) but didn't. Will watch it now and try and go again (seems a lot easier to get tickets nowadays!) |

Isaac Gryn was on as Hopper and Gilles Geary on as Dr Brenner everyday this past week - except Wednesday. |

I just had a look at the standard cast list as you mentioned. However I was sat front row, so could easily recognise the faces of the actors, even if they weren’t playing their principal roles! |

Thoughts on the show soon but for now could someone please drop the names of some of the songs in the show? I loved how they fitted and can lead well into the creepier scenes.
I think if there had been some posts on this already but can’t find them. One ended in the lyric ‘midnight’ methinks.

Finally saw this tonight and very little to write home about for me.
Thought Louis as Henry Creel was pretty exceptional though (mad he wasn't up for an Olivier) and it's a truly great performance.
But this play left me pretty bored I'll be honest (especially in the second act).
Didn't care about any of the characters (I thought the diction was so poor from members of the company that I actually couldn't tell you some of the characters names) and, weirdly, I didn't find most of the technical stuff all that impressive.
There's a couple of moments that are good and visually spectacular (although I could tell how all of them were done) but it left me cold and I didn't feel any kind of emotion.
Oh, and this had some of the worst stage fighting I've ever seen - that scene in the police station? Borderline embarrassingly bad.
3 stars, just.
We don't need 3 of these plays 😂
