Last Saturday's matinee was being filmed. I hope this was for the V&A's National Video Archive of Performance. This is definitely one of those productions that deserves to be preserved.
This was a superb production. I demand Rufus Norris arranges for it to transfer to the Dorfman immediately!

Old friend of mine saw this and cannot stop raving about it..he is talking about this in the same vein as some of the big MT blockbusters...sounds like a real winner...hope it has a future life beyond Southwark.

Old friend of mine saw this and cannot stop raving about it So we know how seriously to take your friend's opinion, is it the same one who hated Hugh Jackman?

....however now I come to think of it, the friend who adored CCOBB once recommended Jersey Boys to see and I personally despised it so now I am having second thoughts on this lol 😂

I adored Benjamin Button and loathed Jersey Boys, if that’s any help!

Oh my, how exciting! Original cast too, please. Agree the original cast were so perfect! The facebook page that I saw last night where I signed up for further details looks to have been taken down now - I wonder if they jumped the gun and we'll see an announcement from Southwark Playhouse soon

Must be happening, just probably sorting out casting e.t.c

Tickets go on sale tomorrow, but do we know the dates for this? I've just asked the same question of Southwark Playhouse... I need to coordinate dates with the rest of my family, two of whom are desperate to see it for the third time and the other one for the first, having missed it last time round entirely! Will post if I get a reply..

Booked for the first and last Saturday of the run! Delighted to see Philippa Hogg is returning. I can't wait to see the show in its new expanded form.

£7.50 for the first preview is an absolute bargain!
So much so that I had to register for a new account to buy a ticket as I didn't want to use one of my PAYG tickets on such a great deal and couldn't work out how to remove it when booking online.

I had to do exactly the same thing! Thankfully already had a backup email address I could use for the second account. Manage to get front row centre for the first performance and will definitely be booking a few other times!

The commercial producers involved does make me wonder if they are planning a West End run after Southwark?

Fortune Theatre after Mincemeat? Then we can rename it Southwark Playhouse, West End!

I can't see Operation Mincemeat leaving the Fortune any time soon.

I can't see Operation Mincemeat leaving the Fortune any time soon. With ATG involved surely it’ll be the ambassadors or Duke of York
