Has anyone else received the email invitation to purchase half-price priority membership? It appears to be the top level and the offer is £25 for a year rather than £50. There are very few membership schemes I find worthwhile and in most cases I'd rather spend the money on tickets, but in this instance, unless I'm mistaken, there has been no information regarding the first season's productions, so it'd be an even riskier purchase than usual. I don't think it has been officially announced, but Julius Caesar with Ben Whishaw has been mentioned as being the second play in the season, opening in January 2018 |

Dislike the logo. It looks like the 'I' fell over. What does the 'I' at a jaunty angle mean?

Maybe it's trying to evoke the way the bridge lifts up?

The generous 50% discount is offered until the announcement on 19 April. It'd be even riskier to wait for the announcement and then lose the discount. |

I might be tempted to take out a membership if I had some idea of what is going to be on after Julius Caesar- I have visions of buying a membership only to find out it will be followed by a year of the likes of the Chuckle Brothers in Rosencrantz and Guildernstern Are Dead and Bobby Davro in Hamlet.

Youths doing wheelies on the pedestrian walkway outside? Home from home for frequenters of the NT/South Bank area...

I'm sure a lovely Pret-theatre cafe (as London does not have enough already and some security will 'sort out' the situation |

I would pay good money to see the Chuckle Brothers in R&G. I've thought before that they should do Waiting For Godot. "Let's go." "We can't." "Why not?" "We're waiting for Godot.” "Oh dear." "Oh dear oh dear." "Suppose we got up to begin with?" "No harm trying." "To me" "To you" |

Artisan Gelato is a well known Italian actor who would make a great Cassius. I particularly enjoyed him (in a joint performance with his compatriot Cornetto) when I was last time by the Italian coast.

One imagines the young Rupert Everett emitting artisan gelato and bottling it to send to his most ardent fans.

Forget about the artisan gelato what really matters is the woman's toilets. Which I hope will be plentiful and artisan

What is that artisan gelato? Is that the tri-coloured ice cream; Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla sandwiched in one of those cheap wafers.

Yes, you need the artisan (she's a retired plasterer) to sandwich the layers together. Its probably also specially 'curated' gelato. Have you noticed how everything is curated these days? I don't know how we got along in the past without curating things. Well, except for my local museum, that always had a very nice chap who was the curator. |
