Last time I went to this theatre I commented that all the cheaper seats appeared to have been sold, obliging anyone booking to pay the higher price, yet on the day the performance was sparsely attended and the Box Office assistant could not explain what had happened. Some of us had a discussion about this but I've started a thread as I've noticed that the same thing seems to have happened again.
If you look at the Thursday matinee of Twilight Song by Kevin Elyot (a play I would have expected to appeal to some of us here, since he also wrote My Night With Reg and the Kings Head currently houses a revival of his Coming Clean) on 20 July, you can see this situation replicated. I know from experience that it's hopeless to ring the Box Office as they never answer, but this means they are potentially losing my business. It's one thing to try to seat people together to create a busier effect in one part of the auditorium - if that is the explanation - but another if this forces them to pay more or not go. Maybe it's time for the Park Theatre itself to come clean!

) , then suddenly appears to be almost sold out. Maybe a last minute booking surge but seems odd!
