lynette how have you not seen Kyle Soller before?! pause while I think what I've seen him in.....Edward II at the national, no one walks down a handrail like him....the crazy Hedda Gabler at NT too? In the Henry VI Hollow Crown? And I think the David Suchet Long Day's Journey into night but would need to check I'm not making that up. He's always good. I saw the Hedda Gabler. Was that him? Well, I’m delighted he got more work. |

Been refreshing rush tickets for 25 minutes, it still says 6 available and hasn't changed once. I haven't used the app that much, is that normal? Anyway I've given up. Hope it comes back one day.

I've noticed that the rush for this has been very weird the last couple of weeks - it just says there are only 8 or 6 available and doesn't do the usual 'stand by' when they've all been put into users baskets. I can confirm that they are actually selling though as I managed to snap up 2 for tonight (sorry not trying to rub it in!). Looks like every day now they only have 6 or 8 tickets available in row T of the stalls as that's what I was given for part 1 last week too. |

Ah well done to you, enjoy! Last time I used it I kept getting stuck on the "One moment" screen and had to close down the app and reopen each time, very frustrating.

On 2 show days you are only able to get for part 1 or 2, right? I suppose there's no way to get them for both. |

On 2 show days you are only able to get for part 1 or 2, right? I suppose there's no way to get them for both. I think it is technically possible to get them for both (it comes up with an error message if you try and buy more than 1 set of rush tickets for the same performance/show, but these are technically different shows in the system), but because they are selling out in literally seconds I don't think you'd be able to buy a set for part 1, checkout then get rush tickets for part 2 in your basket before they all get snapped up by other people. The only way I could think of doing it is to have 1 person try for part 1 and another person try for part 2 on a separate device and get 2 tickets each. |

Anyone dayseating tomorrow? Did you dayseat? I really want to try for Saturday but I know it's not going to happen. I read on Facebook that last Saturday people lined up from 5am and even those who arrived at 6 got standing tickets. |

I read on Facebook that last Saturday people lined up from 5am and even those who arrived at 6 got standing tickets. I didn’t, although I tried and failed miserably at the TodayTix rush. They were gone in less than a second. The earliest I could have got to the Theatre would have been around 8 so I thought that was probably too late. Ended up at Summer and Smoke this afternoon and seeing Aspects tonight |

I read on Facebook that last Saturday people lined up from 5am and even those who arrived at 6 got standing tickets. Wow! I was going to try day seating on Saturday but I don't think I will bother now. I don't like the idea of queuing for 7 hours with the chance I'll only get standing tickets! Will try rush again, but might just have to make do with my 4 visits to part 1 and 6 visits to part 2  I wasn't sure if they would do rush tickets on the final day (I noticed they didn't for some other shows like BOOH for example), but on the app it says 'check back Saturday at 10', so I presume that means they will be doing them. |

I just wish I could see it one more time but I don't think I will, as I couldn't dayseat today (freakin' essay deadline...). Yes, if they weren't going to do it they would've probably announced it by now. I tried rush tix today and nothing, as usual, and I kept refreshing like a maniac until they sold out and removed the sales. I will try again tomorrow but I don't think it will do any difference. If you want to share any tips on how you got the rush seat, my inbox is open  |

Saw it for a third time last night (well, Part 2 that is). Vanessa's cornpone Southern accent out of control but that's life (and one of the actors stomped on one of her lines -- either that or she came in with hers unexpectedly, which is just as likely). But the men were stronger than ever, if that seems possible, and Andrew Burnap as before quite simply incandescent. The production will be missed.

Saw part one yesterday and enjoyed it. Some, great acting , especially Andrew Burnap who gave charm to a character that could have been totally unlikeable. Agree with comment re the Walter monologue near the end - ground the play to a halt and could have been lost easily without affecting things.
Was slightly distracted (in a nice way) during the performance by having Jonathan Bailey, Hugh Skinner and James Norton sitting in front of me - Mr Bailey especially seems to be having a whale of a time on his afternoon off from ‘Company’ !

Agree with comment re the Walter monologue near the end - ground the play to a halt and could have been lost easily without affecting things. Couldn’t disagree more with this. For me it’s the emotional heart of the play and absolutely critical to the the themes around intergenerational responsibility and relationships. . I think it would be a much lesser piece of work without it. But we’re all different... |

My friend's new wi-fi must be very fast. I finally managed to get a Rush-Ticket for part 2 tonight this morning.
Thanks for the tip with Koshari Street, have already eaten there the 3rd time this week.

Just walked past the Noël Coward and there was a line of around 15 people waiting for returns for part two! A shame it was a slow start for this one because as word spread it’s sold out!

Well this afternoons final performance of part 1 was as incredible as ever. There was noticeably a lot more people uncontrollably sobbing at the end compared to the last 4 times I’ve seen it (I may or may not have been one of them). It sounded like most people around me were return visitors.
Another celebrity sighting - Rebel Wilson sat a few rows in front of me.

There is lots to cry about in this world
A play about self indulgent and self entitled characters
Behaving in a promiscuous and perverted manner
Is NOT one of them

Not all the characters in the play behave in a “promiscuous and perverted manner”. But what’s notable about that scene is that many of the gay men who died in the early years of the AIDS epidemic may have been in what they thought were monogamous relationships - and indeed they may have been monogamous, where one of the partners brought their HIV status from a previous relationship. The significance of the scene at the end of Part One is how many men died without even knowing what had caused their death. They didn’t die because they were “promiscuous and perverted”.

I have duly reported it. Perhaps it's time for another one of your frequent absences. I am sure the board can manage without you for a while. If not i am willing to step in and post on virtually every thread that the show in question was rubbish and that i left at the interval |

If not i am willing to step in and post on virtually every thread that the show in question was rubbish and that i left at the interval I found The Inheritance Offensive And much of the content portrayed was presented as if it was desirable or something to aspire to There was a lack of any sort of self control and acting in impulse without thought of consequences Which the audience seemed to enjoy indulging in Having worked on the other end of the picture Where people regret their behaviour and the lifelong consequences that may result It’s quite a different story which extends beyond having a 5 minutes controlled stage cry The play chooses to ignore most of that and present these people as victims of some tragedy Rather than selfish freeloaders who made constantly bad decisions and then didn’t like the outcomes or having to deal with them And cried about them It’s a glorified and rose tinted portrayal of the subjects within the play I saw both of whole shows in this case And that was my opinion regardless of whether you like it or not The behaviour and attitudes shown within the play are presented as something to aspire to No one offered the other side or view of things And that pisses me off From this respect I much preferred My Night with Reg And found it moving As the characters were more varied And there was something to empathise with In The Inheritance I didn’t find anything to relate to Or sympathise with |
