Starting a thread for this as I know once booking opens, we'll all be flocking to see (Future Dame) Katherine Parkinson in 'Home, I'm Darling' by Laura Wade and I just think the artwork for it is simply fabulous. Dame KP looks glorious.  |

I hate the Dorfman but I'm IN. I may even buy a pricey ticket just so I know I'll be able to see.

I love Wade’s work. So smart and funny. This poster is brill. I have to say the Nash’s posters for this season are fantastic.
I love KP too.

Same! My interest has been peaked just by the poster, that's good advertising!
The synopsis of it being a comedy won me, and seeing it was KP absolutely sold me on it, cant wait to see it!

Laura Wade would surely win an award for being one of the least prolific playwrights.

Laura Wade would surely win an award for being one of the least prolific playwrights. Quality is sometimes more important than quantity. Perhaps more writers should hone their work the way that she does instead of swiftly bringing out one play after another. |

Perhaps more writers should hone their work the way that she does instead of swiftly bringing out one play after another. I'm not suggesting that she should write ten plays a year, but it's eight years since Posh, and as far as I am aware the only play she's written since then is her adaptation of Tipping the Velvet. She has had children, I think, which is of course a massive commitment, but it seems to me that she is somewhat unproven as a playwright, with a body of work too small for it to be possible to say "This is what a Laura Wade play is like." Maybe this new play will be brilliant, but it's not like with, let's say, Lucy Kirkwood or James Graham where I feel I know what they're capable of. |

Goodness. I had no idea that anyone other than Nicholas Craig talked about 'The Nash'. You learn something every day

Katherine Parkinson was also in Laura Wade's "Kreutzer vs Kreutzer," with Samuel West, at the Wanamaker, not long ago.
It was a kind of Sliding Doors, alternate realities, Tolstoy murder-(or not)-story adaptation, with Beethoven's music back-grounding one "reality" and Janacek's music back-grounding the other "reality."
It was riveting, the music was exquisite, and I'm still confused as to why it appeared and disappeared so unceremoniously.

Katherine Parkinson was one of the very few good things in the film The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, I thought. Though my daughter really enjoyed the film and so would disagree with me on this one.

Booked today for this. Looks like it's going to be very popular judging by the number of seats sold.

Around 15th May, says the Nash. So hopefully it will *actually* be the 15th, 'cos that's an annoying thing for them to say if it could be anything from, say, the 13th through to the 17th.

I booked a pair for the Young Patrons event on 25th July which seems like a good deal (£32 for a stalls seat plus programme, pre-event and interval drinks). They wouldn't let me book more than a pair for that event so I wonder if that cuts into my allocation of 4. They also didn't give seat numbers for the seats booked (just random numbers like 1082 and 1083) so I am not sure how good they are going to be (until the configuration is confirmed) but they have said they are Stalls so fingers crossed.

When we booked yesterday there were some front row seats for just over £20 but said they were restricted view. Upon speaking to box office were told not restricted but that the stage is very high. So we opted for more expensive seats.

Not been to the Dorfman in this configuration.. I sat on one once. I'd say they are pretty annoying. The view was fine but they're not especially comfortable, you don't get much space. Then again, I don't find craning my neck around a pillar or looking up at a stage all that comfortable either. But they're cheap seats so you get what you pay for really. |

Luckily, I misread the seating plan and we're actually at the normal end of the row so much less likely to appear in Bad Behaviour.. |
