The Height of the Storm - Wyndham's

Just received an email for this, offering to upgrade from middle price to top price etc. I don’t think I can manage to go anyway but when I look at the actual top price which is £95 I wonder who is kidding who? So I’m assuming this is a reduction in light of 1. The weather 2. The football 3. Somebody realised what a stupidly high price it was.


Having said all that, will I be missing much. Anyone in the know? 

Love the writer - The Father was brilliant - but the prices for plays are ridiculous. Have a look at the Delfont/Macintosh website and see how Red & Imperium are doing at the moment.

How did you get a ticket for £12.50?
Where are they please?

I too would love to know this, please - checked a few dates and can't find tix at £12.50 on any date.  If it was in a Delmac email, I do wish they'd send them to everyone who has booked with them!

Ah, thank you. I will bide my time, then, as I'd rather sit in the stalls or dress circle and take my time choosing online.

Well. This left me a little cold I'm afraid. There's a LOT of "Oh look at me, I'm ACTING darling!" going on except from Lucy Cohu and Dame Eileen Atkins who I thought were just lovely. Eileen was probably too distracted by having to peel bags full of mushrooms throughout the play to do anything else I suppose. Does anyone still peel mushrooms? I'll drink to that. She was rather heavy handed with chopping an onion too. I don't think she had a very sharp knife.

Everyone got a bit caught out by the end of the last but one scene which resulted in a round of applause as I think people perhaps thought it had ended. Or wished that it had. Or perhaps they were simply showing their appreciation for James Hillier's sterling work at stomping around in the background chomping on an apple, I couldn't quite tell.

It's quite similar to his other plays with the same scenes being repeated but I just didn't really care a fig for any of the characters. I'd have disinherited those daughters for a start.

And someone needed to have cleaned those windows. They were filthy.

There are some very positive reviews for this today. A friend suggested going, but then mentioned that the seats she liked were £104 each. I would rarely pay even half that.

Although it looked almost sold out when I checked a few dates on the DMT website.

And there was me thinking I'd been personally chosen to receive special treatment, as a close friend of Sir Cameron. ☹

I saw this last night and the two leads were incredible. It took me a bit to figure out where they were in story but such a thrill to be able to see Jonathan Pryce and Eileen Atkins do their thing

I agree with the amazing performance of Jonathan Pryce - what an actor compared to other often different roles he created, and some of the other actors not in the least Dame Atkins, but I also agree that the very beginning of the play was less impressive, but wonderful how it all worked out later on. I was lucky to have seen this.
