Another happy bunny here - I thought I'd missed out on tickets for this, but have just nabbed a row B pit seat for one of the few dates I can do. I got the code on my second guess. So it's another thank you from me to my fab fellow board members! PS If anyone hears of a code knocking around that lets you get cheap front stalls seats for Ant and Cleo, then let me know, as those one eluded me in the members' bunfight! (I'm way beyond Entry Pass age, unfortunately - more like Bus Pass...)

Well, I've tried all the 'obvious' promo codes and still all dates are sold out. Any hints? Or do you need the link and then guess the promo code?

You don’t need any special link, just the usual NT page and the code. If you have Chrome try opening an incognito tab in case any cookies are affecting it. The code is just one short, simple word connected to the play. |

I didn't want the ticket, but I just wanted to play the guessing game. I got it! That was fun.

Bumping this as it opens next week and just realised I'm going to the first preview.
Not sure if it will be my thing but the frocks look lovely from the production pictures.
Seems to be completely sold out so am I about to see history in the making?

I don't know about history in the making, but you are going to see a hit show. |

Katherine Parkinson is on Sunday Brunch promoting the play and looking rather uncomfortable making food. It's an odd programme.

I don't know about history in the making, but you are going to see a hit show. Oh right I must have been mistaken. Just that the NT website says from 24th July. I know it has had a run outside of London but I was referring to the London run. And as for the times reviews I seldom agree with them as they alsways give shows I like 2 stars so on the basis they have given this 5 stars probably means I won't like it 😁 |

No - you're quite right. It ran at Theatr Clwyd 25 June-14 July - which is where lots of the national critics reviewed it. It begins previewing at the National on Tuesday 24 July (I'm there the following evening) with a London press night scheduled for 31 July - although as noted most of main newspapers have already covered it.

Just in case anyone is coming to this thread late; currently the shows aren't sold out. Every date is showing as limited availability with that simple one word promo code that mentioned on the previous page. |

Thank you - missed the earlier discussion of the code and thought I'd missed the boat on tickets. Happily booked now |

If I remember my maths at school, which I excelled at, think the proven formula was/is.
Strong Sales (Sold Out) x Great Reviews = West End Transfer.

Strong Sales (Sold Out) x Great Reviews = West End Transfer. Could well do - it was written for Katherine Parkinson so it would have to be with her though. |

Some of you will know that I am more of a musical than a play person so to see a play it has to have something to pull me in. Two weeks ago it was because it was an Alan Bennett play and last night because Katherine Parkinson was in it.
Well I am happy to report that I thoroughly enjoyed Home, I'm Darling.
All I knew about it in advance was that it had something to do with the 50s and that Katherine wore lovely frocks so the plot was quite a surprise to me.
Very funny in parts but also thought provoking. Set was beautiful and so authentic with great use of the actors and music for the scene changes.
All the cast were excellent but especially Sian Thomas who plays the mother and has a wonderful speech in Act 2 talking about the 50s.
But its really Katherine Parkinson's show and she really was brilliant.
Really recommend it which probably means that no one else will like it.
Oh and they seem to have shaved about 15 minutes off it since Wales as it came in at about 2hrs 30mins.

You have all persuaded me to book for this. In row B pit, which is marked restricted view - but more or less everything left is restricted in some way! Can anyone comment on how restricted it is?

I was in row E of the pit dead centre so had perfect view. Can't think what the restrictions would be in row B. Would have thought more restrictions with the side gallery seats as the pit faces stage and I don't remember the stage being that high. Just had a thought maybe you will miss what happens upstairs in the house as you will be close to the stage and might not be able to see up there too well but very little takes place up there and most of scenes are played out in kitchen and lounge. |

you will miss what happens upstairs Yes - I saw it at Theatre Clwyd where the front row was £10 and prices increased till fourth row (the rows very raked), which was full price. You'll probably miss some walking around upstairs but nothing important. |
