Where are board members from?

North London about 30m Tube from West End.

I live in Dublin. I'm originally from Rio. As a theatre fan, I was incredibly lucky when, almost 20 years ago, I was offered two jobs that would relocate me to a city either close to New York or London. Without hesitation, I picked the latter. I moved to Dublin before my new employer could say "It's a deal!". Dublin has a nice theatre scene and I really like The Gate's new Artistic Director, Selina Cartmell. I travel to London whenever possible, usually at least once a month, when I try to squeeze in as many shows as possible. Sometimes I take a few days off for a theatrethon in London. Having to make wise choices with such limited access to the West End, I rely mostly on this wonderful board to decide what I’m going to see. So, I am much very indebted to all of you.

In the nort east of the UK between Sunderland and Newcastle.

I live in Sunderland but work out of London so down quite a lot, and what better way to fill in my free evenings than a trip into town to see a show!

Birmingham, England.

Ditto ditto. Though I usually take the bus home...a little longer but nearly door to door.

Being spoilt for choice living in London, I don't travel a lot for theatre. I occasionally go to Stratford or Glyndebourne and try to sneak in a play/opera (or three) when visiting a friend in Vienna. For reasons that now escape me I once saw the Blue Man Group in Boston. I might go wild this year and venture to Milton Keynes for the Glyndebourne Tour.

From the North-West of England, currently in South-West London, soon to be moving to Manchester.

Currently work in the middle of the West End, so it's far too handy for seeing shows after work. I'm actually trying to have something of a detox as I felt like I was going far too much.

Looking forward to a fun but slightly quieter theatre scene up North, but I'm sure trips to London will still be regular enough.

I’ll be interested in your opinion about the theatre huleman. Ironically I have only been to the towns theatre twice as there is very little of interest that gets put on there. Though I believe Blood Brothers is coming there sometime this year so I may try and get a ticket.

I lived in Croydon years ago when I first moved south (of the Thames, that is) and often jumped on a train after work to bag a ticket from the TKTS booth.  Of course that was both before the internet and the rise in day-seating so I rarely need to use TKTS now; plus I have a longer journey these days so usually book ahead, but Snicole, if you haven't already considered it, you could use Southern to get to Watford (for the Palace Theatre).  They are just about to revive Arthur Miller's Broken Glass and the theatre is only a brisk, straightforward walk from Watford Junction.

I've cancelled my trip to St. Helens because of "the beast from the east". My chosen train this morning was cancelled which led me to wonder about cancellations this evening, so I've thrown another bouzouki on the fire and decided to stay at home.

I live in West London now, 25 min on the train into central Theatreland. Previously lived in Leeds so did theatregoing there as well as Sheffield, Bradford, York and Harrogate. Was born in Oldham so the rep and various theatres in Manchester plus Ashton's Tameside were my first shows.
