I had a lot of NT credit so got Rutherford, Small Islands and Anna at bargain prices.
I am really looking forward to Anna, if done well the binaural experience should be done really well.

Oooh, I remember seeing a LOT of Max Bennett in a revival of 'Relatively Speaking' with Flick Kendal, which was lovely.

Do we think The Witches is now permanently on hold due to the movie remake?

Do we think The Witches is now permanently on hold due to the movie remake? I don’t think stage adaptations and movie adaptations normally affect one of the other unless Warner Bros holds the stage rights |

Following the 'advance members' sale this morning ANNA is now showing as completely sold out. Hopefully they've held back some seats for the public sale next week, as well as any for Friday Rush/day seats.
edit: Sorry, on further inspection it's not 100% clear. On the play page it's showing as sold out every day, but if you go to the actual individual day pages, it looks like June 6th and 12th have seats.

Yes, I was about 500 in the queue and there we only a handful left for Anna on my chosen date. Other productions seemed to have plenty. |

I wish Amex would give some notice of booking opening - got an email from them 9:45 this morning telling me that booking had opened at 9:30.
Oh well, got a ticket for Anna which was the only one I was after.

Entry Pass booking was very smooth this morning - logged on with 3 different devices at around 9:15, when the queue opened at 9:30 one of my devices went straight through so must've been very near the front of the queue. Got my usual seats for Peter Gynt, Rutherford and Son, and Small Island. I also booked for ANNA - interestingly the Entry Pass seats were front row pit instead of the usual side seats in row M that I've had for the past few productions. I'm very happy about it but it just struck me as odd that they've changed the allocation for this production.

I believe they are only selling the front-facing seats for Anna, presumably because of the binaural sound effects? |

That was painless - with the multiple browser trick came in at #50 in the queue on one and was through in less than a minute. Picked up a ticket for Anna which is the only one I was immediately keen on.

Well I hated how Edge tried to become the uber-browser and take control of all my internet use and all my PDFs and anything it could when I was given my new Windows 10 PC, but it dropped me straight in at number 5 in the queue and I was through to buy before I could even check to see where I was in Explorer and Chrome. Booked everything, including a £15 ticket for ANNA (glad I didn't panic and drop £40 when Amex booking opened now!), but a little disappointed that my trusty Olivier end-of-row-C-stalls £15 tickets don't seem to be available for public booking anymore.

Well that's sad, does indeed look like only cheap seats held for public booking in Olivier are back of circle and thats too far away for my iffy eye sight. Anything in that theatre may now have to watch and hope for returns. Thought it was going too well when got a ticket for Rutherford.

I was 850 or so in the queue. The queue went quickly. I threw one not great ticket for 'Anna' (the only one available for that performance) in my basket and hunted for something better but they were disappearing so quickly, I stuck with that. Also for good measure picked up two £15 front of circle tix for 'Small Island' and used remains of a credit voucher which had been lingering from the 'Common' and 'Salome' days.

I think I read they're only selling the forward-facing seats because of the binaural technology they're using. Which I think is something of a misstep, people would have to turn their heads to see the stage anyway? Still, they do say they'll probably put more seats on sale closer to opening, maybe they just want to check out how the side seats will work before making them available.

Slightly stressful but I eventually managed to book a £15 front stalls for Rutherford. No £15 tickets were showing in the date listing for any performance but going into an actual performance page showed one front stalls which I grabbed. Going through checkout I logged in and went to pay but just as I got to the credit card stage, about 5 minutes after I had selected the ticket, it said I had timed out and released the booking. Needless to say the seat had gone by the time I got back to the event page. Still no £15 seats showing on the date listing but after checking several performance pages found another row C seat and was able to book that.
Baemax - you can change the default app for PDFs on Windows 10 so it does not have to be Edge. Go to Settings, Apps, Select Default Apps, Scroll down to Choose Default App by File Type, scroll downe to PDFs and select, e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader (you may have to install this free from the Adobe web site if it is not already there).

That was fairly easy today, plenty of availability for Peter Gynt, snagged a ticket close enough that when Mr McArdle spots me he will realise our destinies are entwined but far enough away so that any appreciative murmurs I make will go unheard by him. Apologies obviously in advance to my seat mates.

I agree, there is nothing there I would be bothered about seeing, even if the tickets were free.

Surprising to see a season announcement made up entirely of male writers. (unless you count the fact that Secret River has been adapted by a male playwright from a book by a woman)

Two transfers and a revival - does that show a lack of ambition or a lack of money? I know it is good to occasionally showcase works from other companies - but this seems like an unbalanced programme from our National team
