(and for those concerned about such things, you get to see Aidan Turner wearing a vest) Woohoo! Can't wait!

I could move to the one nearest the stage, I've booked AA2 for a date in August which seems to be the one nearest the stage in the Grand Circle slips - is that the one you were in? I'm hoping it's ok! Yep, that’s where I moved to - had to lean forward a couple of times to see what was happening but it was infinitely better than where I started off - would love to see this again but not at the prices they’re charging for stalls seats, so it was a steal at £10.

Initially wasn’t going to book for this when it went on sale, but with wed matinee a theatre slot free in mid July, I’m now tempted. But looking at what is currently on offer, I think this will have to be a dynamic pricing,a day seat or a TodayTix option if any of these become available. I’m certainly not willing to pay the seat prices currently being offered.

The £10 slip seats weren't showing on one of the sales websites I looked at, but on the theatre's own site it was, so worth looking at that for the £10 seats.

Well I have to say that I thought this was outstanding- things didn’t start off well (I had a £10 seat on the side of the grand circle and the view was pretty terrible but thankfully about 4 or 5 seats were left unsold and I could move to the one nearest the stage, which while not perfect was an infinite improvement) - I would still say I preferred The Beauty Queen Of Leenane but I would definitely rank this second in the McDonagh plays I’ve seen in the West End. Incredibly violent and not one to see if you get remotely upset about the thought of bad things happening to cats, but I loved it : I found it both funny and moving (and for those concerned about such things, you get to see Aidan Turner wearing a vest) Yep this and Beauty Queen are my two favourite McDonagh plays too !

I should think it'll prompt quite a lot of 'movement' in the auditorium one way or another...

Maybe I should have put more emphasis on the 'and' in the bit you quoted - I didn't find the sight of Mr. Turner in a vest either funny or moving, but I thought certain members of this community might be concerned about missing out on such a sight. I'll leave you to guess which members I might be talking about (ooh, I said 'member', fnaar, fnaar)

We did the play locally a year or so ago, and the main peripatetic moment with the cat is a tough one to ask of the cat, but every night he did what he was meant to do on cue. Perfect.

Oh oh. I'll wait to hear reports of how loud it all is. I do really want to see this! Especially given the £10 seats on offer.

There’s not that many gun shots, and I would have thought you’d only find it loud if you were sat in the front few rows (don’t know if that qualifies as a spoiler)

Just managed to bag one of the £10 Royal Circle Row H tickets for a Wednesday matinee in mid July. Thanks for posting the info herculesmulligan . I was very impressed with the view when I saw Quiz from the same row at a similar price.

I might be reluctantly reselling a couple for 20 July - not sure yet, but I don't think I can make it to London that day.

Incidentally, I just rang them and they told me BT internet now block their emails. I tried to log into my account to review my bookings with my email address and also couldn't get in!

Intrigued by this but didn’t want to pay West End prices for what could be a vanity project, picked up a Row H £10 ticket, the little feedback so far seems positive and a cheap ticket so a win on both counts.

Quite a number of circle row H / back row stalls £10 tickets seem to have been released which weren't showing earlier this week.

Has anyone sat in the £10 Royal Circle Row H for this? Any reports? I’m sitting in one of the £10 Row H seats right now and it’s a decent view, especially given the price. I expected much worse. Would upload a photo but am on my phone and it won’t let me.

I'm choosing between getting a couple of tickets for Row H Royal Circle and two in back row of the Stalls. My inclination is toward the circle because of the overhang in the stalls, but I'm not sure. Any advice?

Any advice? Personally, having sat in both Row H of the RC and back of the stalls, I would go for the RC if you want to see the full stage. At £10 a seat you get both a bargain and a great uninterrupted view. Sitting at the back of the stalls will give you more of a letter box view of the stage in my experience of having sat there for Labours Love. I found the overhang did cut off the top of the stage, but didn’t really have any impact of my enjoyment of the action on stage.
