This is shaping up to look really exciting - fantastic cast announced: Tamsin Grieg, Oliver Chris and Finbar Lynch. Also joined by Nicholas Farrell, Felicity Montagu, Lisa Ambalavanar and Preston Nyman. Slightly rescheduled too, now running from 2 May - 1 June. www.theatreroyal.org.uk/events/the-deep-blue-sea/

This must be a potential West End transfer or a Number 1 tour with a cast that good.

I just realised she has never done a major tour in a leading role so fair point. Her noted theatre work has been since the mid 2000's and she had been a known TV star for several years then but she did have a family so maybe those commitments came first.

Seeing this on Monday - could anyone say what the running time will be? Slightly concerned about the ASLEF overtime ban

I know this is too late for the person above, but in case anyone else wishes to know, this is running at 2 and a half hours including interval.

With that cast this'll surely transfer in?

Had to run for a train which was luckily ran and thought this was brilliant. Tamsin Greig was astonishing good - you felt her anguish and despair. Nicholas Farrell also delivered a strong performance and Oliver Chris absolutely owned his role too. I thought it was a superbly done production and was worth the journey to see it. There’s no reworking of anything - it plays as you would expect it to and the results are scintillatingly good.

It’s a pity Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf didn’t transfer in as that was terrific too. I didn’t see View From the Bridge but am guessing that’s coming in because Dominic and Callum are both names people are familiar with so they’re willing to put more of a gamble on that? I’m not sure if the public see Tamsin as being of similar status but one would hope that this will as it’s a really terrific production.
Pretty sure the Rattigan double bill in Autumn will come in though as it’s only on for just over a week.
