Definitely reckon it'll be 3+ hours - ATG has this on the booking page. "This production will have a 20 minute Interval and a 5 minute comfort break" Completely missed that first time round, thank you! Betting that the comfort break will happen at the end of Act 1 (when Honey rushes out to be sick), with the interval occurring between Act 2 and 3. Spoiler alert.

Not going to make it to this so picked up the text. Not sure if it really needs to be seen? Others can attest to that - I didn't get the feeling I was missing out on too much by only reading it. I like Luke's character a lot, but overall was slightly disappointed. Found it pretty didactic, but it's a very zeitgeist-y piece and look forward to what the writer comes up with next.

During the presale I saw there are £10 'lucky dip' seats where u could end up with any seats, and they're allocated on arrival.
2 questions really : 1 - what's the worst seat you could get? I believe some are standing? 2 - does anyone know, from experience, if you will need to get there really early to get the best of these seats allocated to you?

As a massive Philip Ridley fan, I predominantly loved it and thought the performances were excellent. Also I totally forgot Jamie Lloyd was the director, which is absolutely a positive in this context. It is a particularly peculiar piece though, and while I did get a little too much enjoyment out of the facial expressions of some of the younger audience members around me, I did also wonder what exactly it was about the first time I saw it (at the Arcola) that didn't discourage me from ever going back for more Ridley. Agreed, I thought the performances were great all round. Tom Rhys Harries in particular I think.

It's a long thin space and the performers move around a lot, so sometimes they'll be miles away and sometimes they'll be super close. Personally I reckon you could do worse than the middle, but if that fills up before you get in, turn right and sit in the half of the room with the fridge in it, not the left half with the armchair. Other than that, make your own choice, and accept it's not going to be perfect wherever you sit. What did you think of it Baemax?

I would suggest getting there in plenty of time as some seats are comfier than others, that's all I'll say

Saw preview of this tonight and really liked it. A lot.
Anyone else going?
The seating arrangement is literally all over the place. A long strip with the stage in the middle and the audience seated either side on chairs, stools, chests of drawers with pillows on etc etc.

You dont however seem to get cheaper tickets for the Upstairs shows. And the Mondays might now be sold out or near to sold out for the Downstairs shows so may not reflect how it looks at the beginning of season opening of course. Ah, thanks for the extra info. The show I'm going for is B. I don't know yet if it's upstairs or downstairs, but from what I can tell, the tickets haven't been put on sale yet so finger crossed I'll be able to get decent seats! It's downstairs, so yes a membership should mean you get first digs at £12 Mondays. 'Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderón makes his Royal Court debut with B, directed by Royal Court Associate Director (International) Sam Pritchard in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs. To run September 2017. Dates to be announced.' royalcourttheatre.com/royal-court-theatre-announces-new-season-work-february-september-2017/

As RC member you tend to have access to lots of £12 seats throughout the theatre. When I booked for the recent season when it opened I bought tickets in the middle of the stalls for most shows. Only on Mondays, though?!

Perfect thanks. Will wait and see if any further in become available, if not I'll just chance that Escaped Alone takes place mainly in the centre of the stage... Thanks It does. The set is pretty stationary and the performers don't exactly hide in the furthest upstage corners. Lovely ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) thanks!

You're outside the width of the stage so might miss the edge of the stage - don't think there'd be a huge issue but these seats are the same price as those further in, so if available you'd be better going for those. I've certainly sat in aisle seats and had no problem. Perfect thanks. Will wait and see if any further in become available, if not I'll just chance that Escaped Alone takes place mainly in the centre of the stage... Thanks

Outset bet here... Does anyone know how decent G3 & 4 are in the stalls? Marked as red on theatremonkey but can't see why? Cheers

So you've just proven that indeed OCD would be eligible for DLA. Thanks.

And the biggest flaw OCD would not be eligible for DLA Why don't you do some very basic research before declaring a complete falsity as the 'biggest flaw'? Just embarrassing. Hoping to bag some £10 Monday tickets for this...

Presumably, like the many people who are in that situation in real life, they had a house and a solid income when she became pregnant 8 months or so earlier. We don't need to discuss the problems with modern society on this forum However in my own personal opinion people don't plan ahead and save Before starting a family people should have contingency and a stable state And look ahead a bit more Things happen and if they lost their house and ended up like this in less than a year where were their savings and assets? Perhaps this play might make people more cautious and thoughtful though And that is a good thing Most people are only thinking of day to day selfishly and can't see past their own nose I would love to have loads of children and do lots of things which I realise aren't realistic for me The play only showed the temporary housing as shameful and negative They all behaved like prisoners as if they were there against their will At least they had this option in the first place Personally I find it a little disappointing that people still hold these opinions. I know for a fact that I, along with a significant number of my friends, would never have been born if everyone believed they should have 'contingency and a stable state' before having children, and I wouldn't exactly describe my parents, nor those of my friends as 'thinking of day to day selfishly' or not seeing 'past their own nose' in their decision to start a family. But wonderful to see that this is sparking insightful and thought provoking conversations on both sides, I think if this year has taught us anything it's that conversations MUST take place between people who disagree with each other.
