Some of the parts would be difficult to bring someone in for - it would be challenging to perform 'script in hand' whilst in a swimming pool...

Interesting - they didn’t happen to mention which actors are out with Covid, did they?

Gutted that tonight is cancelled, especially as they cannot move anyone to another date.

I assume the evening performance will be cancelled too. We’ve got tickets for the evening and haven’t received an e-mail. On the website, the matinee is listed as ‘tickets not on sale’ but the evening says ‘sold out’ which implies the evening is still going ahead. |

This is what the email said “ Due to positive COVID-19 cases in the cast we have unfortunately had to cancel the matinee performance of “Daddy” A Melodrama on Saturday 23 April. We are really sorry for the inconvenience this causes.” Maybe they have someone to cover for the evening and not the matinee? |

It’s frustrating as I’m getting ready to leave Brighton for a day in London so it would good to know sooner rather than later. |

They’ve been very helpful the times when I’ve spoken to them. |

We’ve had an email to say that the Almeida are looking forward to seeing us this evening.

That felt like two or maybe even three plays rolled into one. A lot that I liked and a lot I found interesting but the tail end of the third act... that was a bit of a struggle for me I must be honest. I might not be the smartest person in the world and there are absolutely things I sometimes miss in plays (and sometimes I even realise I missed something) but being hit with the theme over and over and over and over - just too much. An edit or a rewrite would have been welcome.
Great performances, that helped in parts. A few empty seats at the start despite a house full sign and a few people left at the interval.
