Amazing actress In sh*t play With even sh*tter director I'm sensing an interval walkout. Or will you be giving this one a miss completely then?

I'm largely with Parsley here. Stockard Channing is great, but neither Jamie Lloyd nor Alexi Kaye Campbell fills me with enthusiasm. I'll wait for additional cast members and/or discounts.

Why not start a thread on the subject in "General Chat"?

I, for one, thought it was a very good play and am glad it's being revived. You won't be able to smell the chinese takeaway they eat at the back of the Trafalgar Studios though.

There all these great actors Appearing in sh*t plays WHY? *ring ring* Hello? Stockard Channing star of 'Grease' and 'The First Wives Club' speaking. Hi Stockard . . It's Ms Channing. Sorry Ms Channing. It's Jamie Lloyd here. You don't know me but I'm a theatre director and I'd like you to star in this play? Is it a good play? Yes, it's great. Sorry, not interested. Well, actually it's a bit rubbish really but you know theatre goers, they'll pay to see any old rubbish so long as you have a nice set. And we'll give you unlimited bottles of Lambrusco for the entirety of the run. Then I'll do it! My rent is due next week. Transfer the cash by then. Bye.

Just booked (ATG Priority). Seat on the front row, AA, centre block only £15 at all matinees. It, plus A and B are £35 at other performances. Be ready to grab when public booking opens... I think there are worse things you could do... Thanks again for the heads up. Booked also.

The info about the play on the ATG Tickets website doesn't make the play seem of especial interest to Under 25s.

They are doing Under 25s for £25. Well that's a very good deal. You'd have to go to some pretty specialist places to get that sort of offer elsewhere.

Will opt for this if they do the £15.00 Monday scheme again Jamie Lloyd has stated on Twitter that it's not a Jamie Lloyd Co production. I would suppose that this means the £15 Mondays shouldn't be counted on.

Thank you to rory for the OP and to theatremonkey.com as despite being an ATG member, I received no info re this and when I went to book one of the £15 seats, I found they were already almost sold out.
What puzzles me is that I have zero recollection of the play title or the Bush production yet it was only 8 years ago; sounds exactly my sort of thing; had good reviews and I have been a Bush Theatre regular for years. Must scour my 2009 diary to see if I did go.

I got the same email which advised "no Row AA", but didn't specifically say that Row BB had gone too or that Row A was now front row. I assumed the move to A was because that was the best available ticket but could well be wrong! Need to call them to exchange my ticket as can't go that day anyway now, so will ask the question when I do!

I've just checked and have received the same email. Will check Theatremonkey's plan once he's had time to update it - or has he already done so?

On theatremonkey row AA and BB are marked as not in use but no further explenations. The layout was also completely different in the first place: no row BB and row AA was a very short one with 5 seats only.

Looking at the ATG website for an array of dates, rows AA and BB appear to exist but aren't on sale. I'm a little suspicious of this, as I'm sure ATG take seats off the seating plan all together if the seats in question don't exist, but it feels a little late in the day to suddenly decide to have two rows of dayseats. Also it's a bit weird that row AA is full length on the ATG site and the email from the box office specifies that there will "no longer be a 5-seat row AA", which feels more specific than just "no longer be a row AA". I don't suppose anyone's booked in for this weekend who'll be able to let us know? I'll be a bit annoyed if I suddenly have two rows in front of me that weren't there when I booked as there's no rake that far forward, but I suppose I can't complain too much considering what I paid. Still, I would like to know ASAP what the final word is. (Or maybe I'll just email them back now and see if I can get an answer straight from the horse's mouth...)

Not had an email from them yet, though, about my own seat either. Your seat's fine. Could do with a bit of toning and it wouldn't hurt to wiggle it a bit more, but otherwise nothing to worry about.

TM, do you not have your own special red phone that connects you instantly to any box office in the capital? I was hoping you'd be able to offer expert insider knowledge on this one! Don't say that the Monkey is a mere mortal after all!

I asked when I rang them earlier and they confirmed Row A is now front row, with neither AA or BB on sale (though as you say TM and others, both show 'greyed out' on the plan).

Latest looking at the ATG website is that they have put circles into the grey AA and BB rows - so could be seats there after all... I'll be mighty peed off with them if that's the case
