The Enfield Haunting - Brighton / Richmond / Ambassadors

Yes there was -  I didn’t pay much attention to the timings but reckon the first half was around 45mins? 

I was downstairs, but assumed that anyone upstairs could not see the bedroom where so much action occurred...

Top price for a Friday at the Ambassador’s is £135. 

Can’t wait for the feedback on that.

Have decided to cut my losses for this one, had it booked as part of a birthday trip on December 28th but can't face it! Booked for Dear England as a replacement, at least I know that one is acclaimed and I do love football. Football neutral friend will have to deal with it, but we are seeing The House Of Bernada Alba the evening before so best of both worlds. 

I’m traveling to London in January and booked tickets to this play based on the cast and am so bummed to hear all the negative feedback. I’m pretty sure it will have closed by the time I’m there, but should I try to get a refund? Is that even possible? At least this would open up another slot!

Have they actually postponed the move to the Ambassadors, or just the press night? I saw what Mark Shenton posted on X and it looks like the latter (now proposed for 10 Jan). Tickets still on sale from 30 Nov. Could this be a West End show that closes before it actually 'opens'?

How can they justify charging people to see something which they’re now acknowledging is nowhere near fit for the press?

Those reviews are amazing, oh my god.

It's a very smart move. The critics will be annoyed that it's mostly jump scares without a story, and this way, they can just avoid bad press and sell off the Catherine Tate (Dr Who) and David Threlfall (Shameless) names.





To improve the story (I don't think they'll bother), they could do the following. . .

Some spoilers follow. . .

(1) Reveal Threlfall's character's motivation from the start, for sneaking off to Enfield without his partner, rather than allow the audience to speculate that he may be a paedophile for most of the running, just trying to get a moment alone with the kids;

(2) Have another character (the older daughter suits) discover what he's up to and aid him in his quest. This would allow empathetic audience build up for what he's up to and allow Threlfall to get the audience onside;

(3) Have the Threllfall story impact the main story (The Enfield Haunting, which story does not advance one inch as is) a little bit, so that Catherine Tate's character ends up a little closer to dealing with her demons by the end of the plày.

In all honesty, I don't see this happening, as there's little time, and the critics are already sidelined.

I must admit I'm getting morbidly fascinated with this seemingly oncoming trainwreck...

Yes! I feel like if I don't see this, I'll be missing out on something that will go down in legends.
