On University Challenge surely the question is what was the gender balance of the teams in the first round rather than the last 2.

He said "our", not "your". Can one possess playwrights?

Yes, it's a bit speculative. Take "It's All Made Up" by Deborah Pearson: "Deborah has been asked to write a made up story that takes place in a real life place – The Site. Deborah will only start making up the story as soon as she first walks into the Site, always writing from and in The Site. She hopes that what ends up being performed is a string of pathological lies and made up magic." I'll write it when I get there is a bit of a gamble.

Well, I've bought a ticket for "A new work by Nathaniel Martello-White" to see what is going on. Let's hope it proves interesting!

Went yesterday. I think vickster51 has it spot on. I enjoyed the performances of DT and AS, but the rest of the cast and the play itself were a let down. DT plays Don Juan as a cheeky chappy, but it needs more seriousness at points. Still, he has some great speeches, one liners and physical comedy moments. So pleased to have gone, but also happy to have stuck to a £10 seat in a nest!

Got a ticket for the run in Tunbridge Wells. £15 near the front can't be bad.

I suspect its because in the past actors and audience have got distracted by everyone chomping on hot cross buns. So best avoid the problem altogether.

Quick look at 4 mentioned: Royal Court - is closed for Easter period. National - no shows on Friday (but open for tours) Bush - open on Friday Trafalgar Studios - shows in both on Friday
I've also noticed ROH has no performance on Friday.

what? that was it? is there no "best musical" award? only best new one? There's Best New Musical and Best Musical Revival. Not sure what else they could do, unless you want to see Tim Minchin and Andrew Lloyd Webber arm-wrestling.. Yes please. I suggest on BBC on a Saturday with Graham Norton as umpire.

Given the positive reaction to the baby (which I share), maybe he/she should be put up for a best actor/actress award!

Caught this on its last day. Enjoyed it. It is obviously an odd piece but much of it was charming and there were some good laughs.

Also got the side dress circle tickets. Now let's hope I've not got to go away for some reason next year!

I happily go to the Unicorn and Polka as a lone male. If anyone has a problem that's their prejudice not mine!

Maybe they are using NT resources (subsidies) to pay for the set and move this over to save costs in the commercial theatre!

Went yesterday and enjoyed it. It's good to see a show based around ballet. The stalls were busy - only a few empty seats dotted around.

I've got my fingers crossed for an opening with a Brexit-relevant reinterpreted stage version of Carry On Abroad. This is actually a seriously brilliant idea. 🎯

I didn't personally see her, but just seen a pic on twitter, Kate Middleton was at 42nd Street last night! I can't shake off the possibility that the Duchess of Cambridge is parsley.
