Well I know that, but does it really have to be a crapshoot when you book, I don't really want to splash out for a hotel, if I don't have to and I need to get someone in to feed the cats, so only other option is to drive, which I am not keen to do and is another big expense and you have the stress of getting there on time and whether you will find a parking spot. The National Theatre archive can be a good resource, as it gives running times of past productions. catalogue.nationaltheatre.org.uk/CalmView/Advanced.aspx?src=CalmView.PerformanceWhich has Copenhagen down as running 2hr 20min and Present Laughter down as 2hr 55min and the Country Wife 3hr. Also the Stage gives running times in their review. |

Also the Stage gives running times in their review. Well im from south london and if i still lived there AND had a car, it would be a no brainer to drive. Its a decent drive and you park in the huge car park adjacent to the theatre. Plus of course no fretting about running times. |

If we go by car, we usually park in a side road near the theatre. |

Matter for you but it is a huge car park that is v handy and you will get a place. Usually it is fine but I have turned up at the car park to find it absolutely full. Bit of a shock given how much space there has been other times! (It was prior to a matinee so I parked elsewhere and moved the car in prior to the evening performance to allow for a quick getaway). |

Just to say I was at PN yesterday for Charlotte Jones' new play in the Minerva (The Meeting); will post more later in appropriate thread but no time now so will just say it's great, if hugely reminiscent - for me - of The Crucible.
