Rosmersholm

I bought them 😘 thank You 😘😘😘i saw they are "green" at your website
I just know how they are in this play

Don’t forget the packet of pork scratchings as well!

Old person hates young person for doing things the way they do things now, fellow ageing public schoolboy agrees. Not news, really. Keeping Billington instead of promoting Lyn Gardner has left a nasty stain on the Guardian’s theatre coverage, though.

Watched this tonight. Considering the play was written over 130 years ago, it’s themes about politics, media and social justice are as pertinent today as they were back in 1886 when Ibsen wrote Rosmersholm. A dark and disturbing play to watch which is played out on stage by an absolutely fantastic cast. Despite the dark undertones, there was some nice comedy moments, particularly with Giles Terera (who looked very dapper tonight in his suit) giving his political rant speech during the dinner table scene in Act 1. As an audience member, you could so easily relate what he was saying to the current goings on in Westminister which got plenty of laughs.

Sat in D16 in the stalls was a great seat and definitely helped appreciate the ending of the play as I think it’s effectiveness would have been lost if sat up in the Gods.

A 4* production.

A good, pacey production of one of Ibsen's least performed later plays. Impressively staged, with an excellent cast bringing the parts to light. If I have one quibble it is whether Rosmer shouldn't be played by someone a little older, but it's a quibble. Hayley Attwell was very good, full of energy, feeling and conviction. Giles Terera did not disappoint, splendidly unbending as Rosmer's bother-in-law. It does, as others have commented, still feel very much like a modern play.

Interesting view from a box, almost as close as the front rows but looking down at the actors. Gives you a different perspective and the occasional manoeuvres to get a better view are more than compensated by the distinct lack of heads in front, the coughs, the fumbles and fiddles and other annoying habits of your average audience. Rockall is the place for me.

Saw this on Monday and I totally agree with the rave reviews - brilliantly written, adapted, directed, performed, and designed. Giles Terera was the stand-out for me, with Hayley Atwell and Tom Burke both very very good but not quite on his level. Even knowing it was coming, the coup de theatre at the end was very effective. I must also highlight he lighting design, which was beautifully naturalistic.

A timely and resonant production of an expertly crafted play - Ibsen really knew how to write complex human psychology into his characters, and here he gives us three of his best.

Saw the matinee yesterday. Very good. Reservations about Burke as he was too young and a bit colourless. However Attwell and Terrera were both excellent. It all zipped by and the coup de theatre at the end bought gasps. Four stars.

We got seats yesterday - I was with my mum and went past about 4pm, and she suddenly said she'd like to see it, and they offered us stalls row J or dress circle somewhere for £30. Went for stalls which was fine apart from a very tall person in front of her.

I thought it was really good. Giles Terera was the best for me, but I enjoyed it much more than the other Ibsen I've seen previously.

This was definitely one of the best plays I've seen in a while, all performances were super and the only thing that grated slightly were the audience's knowing belly laughs to the political quips. It's something that will stay with me for a while - the sense of mood and melancholy.

I was in the stalls at D1 with a restricted view although caught 99% of everything - more than fine if you don't want to pay full whack.

I’ve twice attempted to review this here and twice my wonderful prose has flicked off and disappeared. So here it is:
Brilliant
More in West End please
Acting fab, all of ‘em
Class production.

I think I would also like to see it again. Trying not to flick a wrong thing here ....
What I was saying was that I think Hayley Atwell will become one of our acting dames at this rate, so good. I loved Tom Burke, who wouldn’t? And I would love to see Giles Terera in more classics. Lucy Briers made it look easy but her clarity, timing etc made the link clear between the past and the present. And I hope she starts to get the older woman classic roles now. I loved the way they didn’t stint on the servants. It made it real, the gap between Rosmer’s idealism and his reality. I loved the lighting, the set, the way the set was handled, the chair, the sound effects and the special effect at the end which was possible in a modern production but which was well written in so no doubts there. I loved all the water...in the text and some added in as they took drinks. I loved that they didn’t rush the long speeches
both the political and the emotional. Yes, a few laughs at the political but actually I think the audience realised it was seeing something special here, a bloke saw it all over a hundred years ago and found the way to express it. What we need is that way and that recognition. No wonder Ibsen is called the father of modern drama. And didn’t he like the nuances, something of Othello in the way a man comes along and destroys a couple with revelations based on a falsity, here a false morality.
More please in the west end. I paid 65 for the ticket, well worth it. I was at the end of row G, just in from row F end with the restricted view but actually if this is cheaper go for it. I say the west end because the NT has obviously given up on this kind of production, the un messed about with classic that still has plenty to tell us and which show how brilliant and how deep our acting talent it.
