Thanks stevejohnson678 They said there was a problem with the website. Got on after about an hour. It is good, but the hassle took a little of the gloss of it. Freddie Fox is excellent, as is David Horovitch. |

I got the second email but am still getting “Sorry, we can’t find that” when I click on the link in that email. I have restarted my browser and cleared my cache (which is a major pain in the neck), as they suggested, but still no luck. If this isn’t fixed by tomorrow, I’ll be asking for a refund.

I had the same problem but then found a link on their website that worked by going into the event under What's On. |

I was hoping to watch it this evening but the booking page says "This event is not on general sale" even though it's supposed to be available for another 6 hours. Very annoying.

How odd! Seems like there have been lots of glitches with this one.

I tried tweeting them but no reply. I guess they won't see it until tomorrow, by which time it'll be too late.

I had trouble with 'Meetings'. Bought ticket and got the link but when I went in and logged in the website said I was not allowed access. And it was the last day with few hours left
Emailed them and they were able to send me the video itself so can't complain too much
Managed to access the video of She Stoops to Conquer but frankly the audio quality lets this down. Sounds too distant. And being in a small in the round theatre using only two or three cameras going between zoomed out and zoomed in with passable editing it isn't NT Live quality. Missed reactions that I could tell were getting laughs. It was fine for Meetings but for a comedy like She Stoops to Conquer it didn't work
And okay I can't really judge this on the small amount I saw but this production felt rather restrained compared to the Northern Broadsides and Bath Theatre Royal productions I saw previously. Isn't it meant to be big and farcical? Not sure the change of time period helped it. Tony Lumpkin stole the show before but here didn't stand out to me.
So I gave up half way through the first act. Just couldn't get into this production. Feel like booking to see Uncle Vanya in person.
It's good Orange Tree screen their shows but they really need to invest in lapel microphones and work on the camerawork/editing if they want to continue doing this

Gotta admit, we put the captions on for this.
It was my first time seeing the play so have nothing to compare it with (my husband who knows it better had more criticisms.)However we did enjoy it and liked the intimacy of the production. Agree Lumpkin wasn't a standout, but Horovich and Fox were excellent.

I would have liked to see what Freddie Fox made of Marlowe though. I still haven't had a reply from them on Twitter. Maybe they don't check their social media at weekends. |
