The Madness of George III with Rylance and SRB alternating the roles of the king and the physician.
More realistically, one more chance to see MR in Jerusalem.
In a way though, I feel very fortunate to have seen so many great productions with brilliant performers already. If there was just one I could experience again before conking out, I would go back to a day in August 2008, and re-live my experience of being in St Cuthbert's church in Edinburgh, watching the Prestoungrange company performing the Battle of Pots & Pans. I could (but won't) write reams and reams about why this has stayed with me so strongly. Suffice to say that before it started I was sitting there feeling irritable and uncomfortable in a tiny too-brightly-lit church hall, looking at a range of unpromising-looking primary-school-style cardboard props on the stage, actually contemplating legging it before it started; but having stayed put, afterwards I left in a sort of daze, thinking I'd just witnessed a piece of simple genius that was the very essence of theatre. Or something. It's saying something that I welled up a bit even just typing this post.
So yes, going into a complete fantasy realm, being transported back to that day, that'd do me.
Remaining in fantasy land, not theatre but I'd die happy if I got to see The Beatles and/or the early 70s line-up of Genesis reform and play live. Yes, yes, I know one of those is well and truly impossible, but, you know... |

Sorry about that. Damn that weird editing glitch I always get that flashes a "Sorry time's up" message then just creates a quoted version of the message.

Probably discussing the show over some spaghetti bolognese and a glass of Lambrusco. Slagging off Andrew Scott. That kind of thing.  |

Don't get me started on the Cucumber fellow."
Fittingly I discovered autocorrect changes 'Spag Bol' to 'Slag bol' this morning...

I would like to see Patrick Stewart in something as it was his understudy at No Mans Land.I would also love to see sondheim new piece that he is working on. Other actor shows I would like to see are Judi Dench,Francis Delatour, and Julie Walters definitely Ooh yes Dame Judi and Dame Julie on stage need to be added to my list as well! |

Judi Dench would be perfect for 'The Visit' if they ever brought that over to London's glitzy West End. |
