Queen Anne was barely sold until it received excellent reviews and then quickly sold out 30 June to 30 September, this Swan Theatre hit is presented at Theatre Royal Haymarket. Romola Garai heads a new cast as the Duchess of Marlborough. Emma Cunliffe returns as Queen Anne. |

Theatre Royal Haymarket - home of inexplicable transfers.

Theatre Royal Haymarket has recently had a run of these historical dramas - Mr Foote's Other Legge and The Libertine - and the RSC is resident there now with Love's Labour's Lost and Much Ado About Nothing. So Queen Anne should feel at home there!

TRH always prices its tickets at the top end of the range for West End drama which I suppose gives them scope for some later discounting. It's a stand-alone theatre, not part of any ATG or Nimax or Really Useful mega-conglomerate, and so can't cross-subsidise commercial flops with hits in other theatres. |

Many West End productions do routinely also sell via TKTS, though - I don't think that's necessarily a bad sign and if it helps some people attend, why not?

I just worry that people might be losing money. Don't worry, that Haymarket/RSC season was priced really stupidly high just to maximise income from tourists and early-adopters over Xmas, there was obviously loads of room to discount. Really they should have done the Almeida thing of just directly pricing it differently during the run (Almeida prices are higher at the start and end of runs). |

I've honestly never heard of the Almeida having variable prices during the run - & I booked today for the final matinee of Ink at the normal price for those seats.

I enjoyed this and feel it's worth a London transfer, whether it will do well is anohter matter. But it did shed some interesting oight on a rarely-troubled-by-the-stage historical period of British history and managed to make one of the, on paper, most boring monarchs in British history quite a sympathetic character..

Cannot believe it is transferring to WE when imo Rover would be much better bet! |

Without wishing to be unkind to the show's prospects, I doubt very much they will sell lots of tickets for this on current pricing, and I would recommend waiting for offers for tickets in the stalls for this.

Do you think there isn't need to hurry with buying tickets for this? and maybe will lower prices? theatremonkey.com I would happily go to preview and that was my original plan or in the first week of play but i can't take my vacation so I will be in London in late August /September |

Anyone seen this? I have heard no buzz about it at all, and they're papering like mad.

I saw it last Saturday and found it a tad stilted. A lot of RSC gesturing without really conveying real emotion and I think the transfer from the thrust layout of the Swan to the proscenium of the Haymarket has led to a more squashed staging. I was really impressed by Emma Cunniffe as Anne but I thought the standout was Jimmy Garnon, an ex-globe regular who brings a joyous manipulative turn in what is effectively an audition to play Iago. I think the play itself is great but needs a theatre where grand declarations are accepted rather than seen as odd and out of place (I think the Swan must have been a good stage for this and can imagine a successful revival at the Globe much like the Heresy of Love).
