It's mid-Feb, any news on booking dates? The website has been updated with a first event thing for Lehman Trilogy (talk + show package on August 7th): www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/tickets/11475So I presume the rest of the dates will be online tomorrow. Iirc, for the current season, tickets went on sale (to the patron members) a couple of days after the ticket pages were put online, so if it's the same then presumably either tomorrow or monday(?) |

Whoop. Dates are up:
Lehman Trilogy: 4 July - 8 Aug (Talks on 7 Aug)
An Octoroon: 7 Jun - 18 Jul
Julie: 31 May - 4 Aug
Translations: 22 May - 7 Jul
Pages for each show are also up, so if this is the same as last time, then it should mean that the full info is up tomorrow. Pretty excited.

Pretty excited. Where are you reading this please? Keen to know if there are any/many trilogy days for Lehman. Yes, Translations is a lovely play, also saw the excellent ETT version a few years ago. |

Pretty excited. Where are you reading this please? Keen to know if there are any/many trilogy days for Lehman. Yes, Translations is a lovely play, also saw the excellent ETT version a few years ago. My understanding is that it's a single play called 'The Lehman Trilogy', rather than being 3 separate shows, but I may well be mistaken. Although sorry if I've misunderstood what you're asking. In terms of what's online at the mo, Lehman seems to have 26 performances so more-or-less daily for the run, and spot checking suggests that evenings start at 7pm. In terms of the info, it's from the NT website. Basically, this is their structure for specific shows: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/pinocchio and if you change the final words to something else, it comes up with an actual webpage which has a temporary hold, like this: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/the-lehman-trilogy If this wasn't a real show, then it would come up with a 'Page not found' type error like this: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/blah-blahIn terms of the dates, their ticket page show the date, time & cost info, like this: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/tickets/9965 and the number at the end represents shows & days chronologically, so this is the first Lehman Trilogy day: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/tickets/11501 and the last show (at least for now) is: www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/tickets/11526 after which the next show (An Octoroon) begins. |

So something called Trilogy isn’t a trilogy? That's gonna confuse some of the punters, me being the first!

We coped with the Royal Court's Father Comes Home From The Wars Parts 1, 2 & 3, I'm sure we'll survive this too.

They are doing a David Hare play!! What do we have to do to convey to the NT that we have had enough of being told what to think by this self appointed conscience of the middle, mainly white class? ( noted exception of policeman sidekick in Collateral) class? Enough!

Thanks jadnoop. I'm no longer an NT member so cannot access the page through your link but having read up a bit more, it seems like the original trilogy has been condensed into one (presumably long) play. So not quite such a panic with booking. |

So not quite such a panic with booking. Regarding the 'The Lehman Trilogy' webpage, I don't think it's to do with being a member, I'm pretty sure it's just an IT thing. Basically, they make the webpage with the info, but it's not made viewable to the general public until they decide to release the info. So my guess is that tomorrow or the day after, an NT tweet will go out announcing the shows, and that page will have be switched over to 'live' and be viewable to all. Don't worry, there's no need to panic with ticket sales yet. |

Announcements from nearly everywhere feel like they are taking ages to come through this year!

No, I was only thinking about the Lehman thing being 3 plays and wanting to book for one day, but as I misunderstood (I mean, obviously something called a trilogy is going to be one play...!?) Never panic about anything at the Nash these days as there are always returns. |

So I've decided to renounce my Priority Membership because AMEX (the fools!) have given me a credit card. Are Amex Dates the same as public booking dates or is there an advance?

Just had my priority membership email through giving details of these productions. Wonder if the IT system will hold up this time on 1st March when booking opens.

Amex is a day (or two?) before public, it's extremely rare it gets you access to any of the decent cheap seats though. It's best for if you're flexible on how much you spend on a seat, or if you want a guaranteed allotment of seats. You do get 10% off in the bookshop though. |

See War Horse is going back to the Olivier for a limited run over Christmas, to mark the centenary of the end of the first world war, what a nice way to mark the end of the war.

WOS seems to suggests it's going to the Lyttelton so I suspect the tour is doing a run over Christmas before going back on the road |

Oh, that's interesting, I'd assumed they were going to slam it lovingly back into the Olivier as another placeholder while they run around frantically behind the scenes to try and solve the greater issues of why do so few plays actually WORK on that stage.

I suspect it's because the touring production is designed for traditional theatres in mind and it's likely isn't worth them reblocking it for the Olivier for a short run since it's going back on the road once it finishes at the NT. Not to mention, the Christmas production this year is I think The Witches which I assume is going to the Olivier |
