All 4 of the actors in the 2005 Broadway revival were nominated for Tony Awards as well (with Bill Irwin emerging triumphant). I suspect that will be repeated for this production in the 2018 Oliviers, even though it will close MONTHS before the nominations. Considering Follies will opening in 2017 and be eligible for the 2018 awards, Imelda could win two Oliviers in the same year (play and musical actress). Has that ever happened before?! I think Judi Dench in 1996 who won for A Little Night Music and Absolute Hell, both at the National. |

Has anyone ever sat in seats D 1-2 (or D 20-21) at the Pinter? I can't imagine why they are at bottom price when the seats right next to them are top price at £65... Thanks!

I haven't sat in them myself, but I believe they're behind a pillar so have either restricted view or restricted leg room.

Just a quick note, I ran through the dates looking for cheap seats, so in case anyone here is still looking there's a solitary £15 stalls row C ticket remaining on the ATG website. It's on March 14th.

I know the first preview is still quite a way off, but is it possible for anyone attending the early previews to let us know the running time of the show? Judging by the running times of previous productions, it'll probably total up to three hours and I wanna make sure that I won't need to amend my coach to get home at a reasonable time.

Does anyone know if the front row was sold in the cheap tickets scheme please? Or are they possibly going to have day seats as well?

Just put up a notice saying there's a Row C stalls ticket going for 29th March matinee - would love to swap with someone who has one of those tickets for anywhere else in the run. Thanks.

Definitely reckon it'll be 3+ hours - ATG has this on the booking page. "This production will have a 20 minute Interval and a 5 minute comfort break" |

Well at least the seats at the Harold Pinter are comfy !
If it was the SWP I would certainly struggle to go the distance  |

and a 5 minute comfort break Which every gent in the theatre will spend watching the line to the "ladies" with mounting horrified sympathy... Unless they are planning a bank of portaloos to cope with the rush? I think the comfort break may be more to be able to get up and unfold your body from cramped seating? On rare occasions that I've been to something with more than one break, I've been fine with the normal interval for the Ladies business. I had no idea this was so long though, I booked a matinee and have another evening show to get to afterwards :- / |

"This production will have a 20 minute Interval and a 5 minute comfort break" Completely missed that first time round, thank you! Betting that the comfort break will happen at the end of Act 1 (when Honey rushes out to be sick), with the interval occurring between Act 2 and 3. |

If there was a left wing version of the Daily Mail, with the same journalistic qualities I would buy it. There is, The Guardian, exactly the same level of propaganda and biased reporting. For example, Daily Mail attacks UK Supreme court judges because they think their (supposed) political views will affect their judgement. The Guardian attacks the judge nominated for the US Supreme Court because they think his (supposed) political views will affect his judgement. Perfect symmetry. |

Sorry for being off topic but as a loyal Guardianista there's nothing 'supposed' about Gorsuch's political views! Not a wholly similar comparison. |

To bring this back on topic, I don't know why they're doing the intervals like that. Every other production I've seen of it (only 4, admittedly, but still), has had 2 x 15 minute intervals, one after each act. Act Two is the longest, so if the full 20 minute break comes after it, you're asking people to sit still for a LONG time.

Sorry for being off topic but as a loyal Guardianista there's nothing 'supposed' about Gorsuch's political views! Not a wholly similar comparison. Yes, and of course he has been nominated precisely because of his political views, as are all US Supreme Court judges. They have a very different system to ours; our judges are supposed not to let their political views cloud their judgement whereas in the US it is expected, indeed hoped, by their supporters that their views will determine their judgement. |
