Rafe Spall? Too young perhaps... 👀

Rafe Spall would be an interesting choice for Finch. I was excited to see Rhys Ifans in the role. I'm keen to know who it will be now as the date of seeing the play gets closer. At the moment it's the only ticket I have booked!

Well done, Mr B! SFP are not taking any chances by moving it back so much. I really hope that they can also re-schedule Leopoldstadt if it can't go ahead this June. I wonder if Leopoldstadt might run now at the Gielgud in the Autumn as Life of Pi will be at Wyndham's by then?

Terrific news. In my mind the best alternative to Rhys Ifans. Can't wait to see it in September!

I wonder if Upstart Crow will resume then? I'm sure I read an interview with David Mitchell very recently that said that was the hopeful plan.

Relieved this has been moved, my Come From Away tickets had been moved to the same date I was booked for in July, although I'm expecting that to be moved again too.

Did anyone receive their e-tickets for To Kill a Mockingbird? Bit odd they've emailing it this early considering it doesn't start until March.

First preview on Thursday. Anyone seeing this in the first weeks? My ticket (having been moved many times due to covid is now later in the run)
Rafe Spall has promised a performance entirely different from Jeff Daniels and Ed Harris.

TodayTix All Rise offer, £15 tickets, booked centre row R for this price and seems a very generous offer.

Very pleased with that offer! Looks like the seats they are offering in the stalls are usually £77.50 later in the run. They're disappearing pretty quickly!

I see this very good offer, but find it disappointing.
I see a seat available and selecting, then I get the whirly thingy come up saying loading, then keeps coming up as error. Very frustrating,

I caught the matinee today after grabbing front row tickets in the TodayTix £15 rush today.
All I can say is… WOW!
I really, thoroughly enjoyed this play. The performances were just phenomenal from everyone but especially Rafe Spall, Gwenyth Keyworth, Harry Redding and David Moorst.
As a fan of Sorkin’s writing for many years, I knew I had to see this. I attempted to see it while on a trip to NYC but the ticket price was too high for me. There were so many Sorkin-isms I spotted throughout the dialogue which just added to my overall enjoyment. There was also a good level of humour laced throughout which was balanced perfectly and didn’t encroach on the heaviness of the overall plot. Several audible gasps at points where the fates of characters were revealed which perhaps highlights the amount of people seeing it without having read the book.It’s also impossible to not comment on the relevance to recent global events, with several lines of dialogue hitting very close to the case of George Floyd and BLM as a whole which brought tears to my eyes on several occasions.
I can see why this was so well received on Broadway and I see it doing really well over here!

I saw this last night. It is so good. Every element of this production is special with the cast universally excellent but especially from Spall, Moorst, Redding, Keyworth and O’Keane. Must see! 5 stars.
Geilgud theatre staff however was very loud with glass clearing in the second half and ran at 3 hours and 5 minutes but I imagine this will come down because it was only the second preview and it seemed slow in places. Set was clever and fit nicely with the piece as a whole.

Oh I'm so happy hearing the great response come in already. Can anyone please let us know either having had seen it or if you are going soon if they have posters on sale? I'd really like to get one when I go!

Dunno about posters but £12 for a mug! I said no.
Loved the kids, especially Dill. Would have liked a bit more gravitas from Spall. I saw this some years ago at The Barbican with Robert Sean Leonard, a quieter, somber Atticus. That felt more in accordance with the book.
I love Sorkin's writing and have been waiting for so long to see this, but will admit to being a little underwhelmed. I know the book backwards and forwards and there were some bits that felt a bit "over-egging". Would be different to an audience who come fresh to this, I guess.
Want to think more about it, but it's "Good" from me, not Amazing.
How high is the stage? I was second row, which is C, in seat 8. Stage is high but I don't think you miss anything.

From what I recall when I saw it on Broadway it ran close to 3 hours so I'm not sure the run time will come down that much.
Doesn't matter if it's good though - Small Island is 3 hours 15 but didn't feel over-long at all.

Any news on a playtext for this being published? I haven’t found anything about it so far and thought there might not be because of the Harper Lee estate/wanting to only have one printed TKAM but it’s a real pity if that’s the case.
It would be lovely as a companion piece when students are covering the novel in schools!
