Accidental Death of An Anarchist - Crucible/Lyric/TRH

Yeah I think that's what he means.

Very exciting news. Think I'll wait for offers to pull the trigger on tickets though - £55 for anything halfway decent feels a little steep

David Hare will be happy

"At the Theatre Royal Haymarket we are beginning an exciting new era. Our focus will be on reviving the theatre's tradition as one of the West End's great playhouses. To achieve this, the Haymarket will focus on limited-run plays that strike the balance between premium quality and commercial potential," he said.

The theatre has most recently been home to the musical of Only Fools and Horses. Cohen said that, while musicals were not "ruled out", the primary focus would be on plays in the future. For 2023 and 2024, Cohen said that this is likely to focus on limited runs rather than open-ended productions.

The lyric run only sold out the last couple of weeks

Hopefully it'll get an audience regardless

I absolutely LOVED this at the Lyric Hammersmith.

Really curious as to what (if anything) they've changed to adapt the play for the much larger Haymarket stage.

Not entirely convinced (yet) that it is worth the current ticket prices just to go and find out if there's much difference or not.

Really looking forward to reading the reviews once the Haymarket run begins.

Rush tickets available for this now, so I will certainly make the effort at some point over the summer to see it.

Does anyone have a full playlist of the songs they play at interval? I caught Roxanne by The Police (clever!) so am assuming they’re following a theme here. Fantastic show, definitely deserves a bigger audience and what great audience reactions! Daniel Rigby is a real talent for his back-and-forth antics, I wonder what energy drink he’s chugging before every show.

After missing out on both the original Sheffield run and then the transfer to the Lyric Hammersmith, I finally managed to get round to seeing thanks to a £25 rush ticket for tonight’s performance. I got M15 in the stalls and can’t complain at all with the view. A frantic paced 2 hour show thanks to some great directing from Daniel Raggett and I loved every minute of it and was worth every penny in my opinion. A really funny script was brought to life by the brilliant Daniel Rigby and the other cast members. There really are no weak links in this cast for me. Quite honestly, get a rush ticket just to see Daniel on stage. His performance is master class in stage comedy and he completely owns the stage with very little time off it. All the comedy landed - verbal, physical, and even musical that kept us all throughly entertained. There was definitely a sense of Daniel channelling Eric Morecambe in his performance. So if like me you like that style of comedy this show should be right up your street.

With the frantic madcap comedy in full flow, the breaking of the 4th wall on many occasions which for me worked really well in the context of this show and just put an extra layer of laughs onto a really funny show. With all the laughs, there is a serious undertone looking at the Police and society as a whole. Daniel Rigby’s Act 2 speech certainly hit the mark with the audience with many applauding its message and certainly gives food for thought post show.

With the loud sounds mentioned, it’s really in Act 2 (at the start with some music and near the end with a bang).that they happen. You also get some flashing lights as well at the start of Act 2.

Overall, I’m giving a big thumbs up for this show with a big recommendation for viewing.

I was there on Thursday and they had them then, although to be honest hardly worth bothering with! Cast bios, history of the theatre and next to nothing else.

I’ve bought one of the £15 tickets in the first two rows - has anyone else seen it from those seats? How was the view?

There were LOTS available yesterday.
I will report back on the stage hight after tonight
