Took long enough to transfer, was rumoured to be a filer before Stephen Ward opened. Also glad that Chichester is finally getting a transfer, it seems ages since I have seen any of their work in London?

I mean, Guys And Dolls is still running, and Gypsy and Taken At Midnight both did West End runs just last year, so it's not like there's been an absolute dearth of Chichester productions in London. Some years they transfer more, sure, but there's still not long between Chichester transfers.

The Chekhov trilogy is going to the National in the summer plus Running Wild is going to Regent's Park so we're getting quite a few plays this year alongside Love Labour's Lost/Much Ado About Nothing and This House so plenty of transfers. |

If it ain't got Charles Edwards, I ain't interested.

Sorry guys, I meant to say new plays, like Pressure and For Services Rendered (I think) from last year.
I wonder if this will now be classified as a revival?

Technically it is - although being remounted by the same creative team, by the looks. Worth saying this'll be the second revival, as such, seeing as the production at the NT moved venues. I'm looking forward to it, was going to try to head down to Chichester to see this and LLL - am glad I won't need to anymore! |

So can still be a revival I guess, even though it's the same production at the National, very interesting one to see how this falls with the Olivier, especially as this could compete with Shakespeare!!!!!!

A revival isn't dependent on time but the production. As such, An Inspector Calls coming back to London is still the Daldry revival, not a revival of his revival. This House is still Herrin's original production, even though later than expected into the West End. It cannot, therefore be a revival.
Complicating matters is the venue, so Merrily We Roll Along from the Menier was a West End premiere, as the Donmar production was considered off-West End. It wasn't, however a London premiere and would be classed as a London Revival! So, if This House had been completely redirected then it would similarly be a London revival but a West End premiere, as the National is also not a West End venue.

Thanks for that and very interesting.
I now understand it cannot be considered a revival, but because this production was nominated in 2013, so are we saying this cannot be nominated for a new play again? Similar to 1984.

That should be the case but nominating committees sometimes completely go against previous practice. Anyone taking over a role shouldn't be eligible for a nomination, for example, but they sometimes have been; same with a transfer, so the actors for this might possibly be deemed eligible. |
