Enjoyed this (eventually, it took a while) and having completely written Chekhov off as “not my thing” previously, was glad to actually get something out of this. That creaky stage though! Has it been like that for the whole run?

Glorious pettiness last night in (front row) Rabbit Hole at the Hampstead - gentleman behind me sneezed and man next to me loudly told him to be quiet. Actors clearly heard and were distracted for a couple of seconds. The Ssshher fled at the interval and never came back, a shame as the sneezer seemed well up for an argument. Oh, I noticed a very slight hiatus and wondered what had happened. Where were you sitting drm? It seems Parsley may have been there as well... badges, badges (not that I think Parsley would wear one!) I was front row centre!

Just got a day seat for the matinee, £25 rather than £15 I was expecting though? Looking forward to it Hm maybe £15 was just for previews. Seems optimistic to raise the price by 66% when the reviews haven't been amazing.

Very little queue to speak of, only 3 people in front of me when I arrived just before 10.

Enjoyed this, though Jemima Rooper playing a teenager when she’s in her mid-30s did prove vexing.
Got a day seat, £15 front row. Its good to be up close for this one so highly recommend it.

Sad I missed the boat for tickets for this. If anyone hears of any spares etc...

Individually wrapped sweets galore at Master Builder last night - people in front and behind me.

No alas, back in Row W (and sat in front of who I assume was the stage manager, furiously taking notes)

Was also there last night, started 5 mins late and 2nd intervall was 5 minutes longer than planned so probably 2 hrs 50 at the moment (though could be trimmed, and the intervals does make it feel like a long evening).
Saw the Almeida production in 2010 and hated it so much I told myself it would take something special to re-visit it again but very glad I did as it was much more enjoyable.

I echo the arrangements in the venue were terrible - but loved the show. Thought all performances were great and left me with an unshakable disturbed feeling after.
