I suspect this question was asked on the old forum but can I ask - what date was the performance that's showing at cinemas on Thursday evening? I don't think for one minute that it'd actually be live.

Oh lord, I feel for The West then, given all the posts about him and his lines! Fortunately I've never seen the film or any previous production so I'll be none the wiser unless he gives it away! Thanks muchly, Honoured Guest.

There were a few longer pauses or slightly amended mid way sentences when I went a few weeks back but if I hadn't been alert to them because of the comments I wouldn't have noticed so I expect he'll be fine. I was much more concerned with dripping wax as we had one very leaky candle.

It wasn't only West fluffing lines (twice), McTeer and Stubbs did as well!

I was much more concerned with dripping wax as we had one very leaky candle. There was one particular huge chunk of falling wax that was a bit worrying the other week. The sofa was perilously positioned! |

Exactly Peggs, we can form an orderly queue for McTeer!

West admitted in an interview in the paper this weekend that he had trouble with the lines. No explanation as to why.

Unlikely, the cast do seem to be the busy sort. Out of interest, has anything transferred from the Donmar since Frost/Nixon?

Oh, of course! You'd think I'd remember The Weir at least, having seen it in both venues.  |

Where was the West interview? I am intrigued how he isn't more mortified but maybe he is trying to hide his embarrassment? It must have been incredibly awkward for his co-stars.

But in defence of Una Stubbs - she was fighting coughs throughout the performances, West a little less so. I would probably not have noticed all the almost unnoticeable fluffing if it hadn't been a topic. |

It was either in the Telegraph or the Sunday Times on Sunday last. Sorry, have forgotten which part of the paper but one of those review sections I expect. All chucked into the recycling now....and gone. I know I thought why do this now when the show is towards its end. |

To get people into the cinema screening this week, perhaps? |
