Well I gave up yesterday so emailed them and asked if they could get me 2 tickets on a specific date and today I got a link to pay for them. Job done. What a truly awful website though

What a truly awful website though Frustrating indeed. I’ve tried Safari, Edge and Chrome and still no arrow to proceed to March. I’ll try emailing now as well. Did you email Underbelly?

Is this as expensive as Branagh’s Lear ( see other thread) ? Is this gonna be kind of auction of ever increasing egos?

On the day of tickets going on sale, went online only to find after an hours wait, that there was no option for wheelchair users. So ended up calling Punchdrunk to book these on the phone, which was relatively easy. But why was there no mention of access tickets on the website? This is a total oversight and very poor of the producers. I understand not having these available to book online but all they need to do is state this clearly on the website. It also becomes apparent that, even though carers do go free, you have still have to pay £85 for a ticket for a wheelchair space. It’s not fair that other able bodied patrons have the option of booking from a range of ticket prices. For wheelchair users there is no option. Something that happens a lot on other shows too.

After going round in circles with the site trying to access the tickets page yesterday morning, I’ve got a 2nd preview ticket for a Sunday evening show in Liverpool.

The preview performance I booked for in November has now been cancelled. I am trying to move the ticket to another date but nobody seems to be working at the Underbelly box office to answer phones or emails. Has anybody had any luck in contacting the team about anything?

The London dates seem to be selling very badly - who knew audiences wouldn't be clamouring to pay £150 to sit in a cold warehouse in Canada Water?
Bring on the discounts and papering...

”immersive” but not “visceral”. Surprising.

Is it me or does walking through a ‘war zone’ seem in particularly bad taste at this moment?
Of course they would have planned and designed this well before the Israel Gaza conflict- but this would make me feel uneasy.

Of course they would have planned and designed this well before the Israel Gaza conflict- but this would make me feel uneasy. Not in bad taste at all. It will have been planned months/years ago, plus Fiennes has often said he has little interest in doing Shakespeare in period clothing as it distances the audiences even further from the relevance of the stories to the present. His Coriolanus film did the same. Watching that conflict play out on TV, I feel/hope this production will bring audiences even closer to the realities of being in such a terrible situation.

It was planned and designed during the Russia - Ukraine conflict which is still ongoing and much bigger and no one has complained about that. Nor should they.

It's not a play that takes war and murder lightly. In contrast, I thought the BBC's decision to schedule a TV comedy drama with torture scenes at primetime last night was a bad one - they should have delayed it & found a different slot (when a British hostage in Iraq was murdered, ITV cancelled a Carry On film that included 'comedy' beheadings).

Dave B I was meant to be watching it on Sunday. Unfortunately the show got cancelled. I’m now booked in for Dec 12th.

Google Macbeth under news
There is a local review
It’s not great and the production concept looks boring
I suspect the Donmar one will be the better

This looks incredibly uninspiring. Why go to the effort of being site specific, if you’re just (in effect) going to build a theatre within it

I really doubt that his Macbeth is a ‘revelation’. Maybe a well spoken and understand Shakespearean performance delivered in a similar way to other performances. But not ‘a revelation’

Interested to see what people make of this. If it was city centre I’d almost definitely be going, but I’ve gotten really fed up of travelling to shows, not helped by the unreliable transport network. The extra faff of travelling into Liverpool and then having to get to some random business park put me right off.

As I’m going midweek after work I didn’t want to risk getting lost in the dark.
