I just did a test with my Mum's details to see (and y'know bonus chance) and it worked fine...possibly just a weird quirk above? Maybe try another browser?

Ok ta folks. I'll have another go. Reminds me of when I used to apply for Wimbledon tix. My dad would phone me up to ask what it was he had been offered. 'Just pay, dad'

Done. Thanks for the support. It was tricky there, palpitations, blood pressure soared, don't mention the flushes...

Kenneth Branagh's return to Shakespeare after more than a decade was the Manchester International Festival production of Macbeth which played in an intimate venue, Hallé St Peter’s, for less than three weeks, from 5 - 23 July 2013. The final Saturday performance was relayed live to 5,000 people in the NCP Bridgewater Hall Car Park and shown more widely by NT Live. There was a New York revival a year later, from 31 May - 22 June 2014 at Park Avenue Armory, who had co-commissioned the production with MIF. mif.co.uk/about-us/our-story/mif13/macbeth/I love the concept of these event theatre productions. Perhaps the Hiddleston/Branagh/RADA Hamlet might follow the Macbeth model of life beyond its initial production. |

I'd forgotten that Macbeth had such a short run. I'll cross my fingers for a short transfer somewhere that they manage to film for NT Live.
That may be more feasible than a proper long run transfer. I was theorising yesterday that maybe one of the reasons why there's no plan to film it is that the tech is being done by RADA students on the technical courses, and it's a bit much for them to take on NT Live requirements too. But a short transfer to a professional venue wouldn't face that problem.

It's reported in today's Times that Kenny first floated the idea with Tommy 10 years ago (rather than seven) after watching him in Othello at the Donmar Warehouse.
Anybody struggling to register online can also enter the ballot by telephone (remember those) on 01223 357851.

Do we need another Hamlet so soon after the well received one with Andrew Scott? Perhaps that will affect their future plans in the short term too? I've never been bothered by different productions of a play happening in quick succession. If they occur in the same city, it gets noticed, but London's big enough to absorb a couple of close-together Hamlets.
In a sense, no play is ever 'needed'.

Yes. It's the sort of thing critics moan about because they do see them all, but most people don't go and see every production of Hamlet. None of us is being forced to go - and you know that when the time comes that people stop buying tickets for Hamlet producers will stop putting them on. |

Those questioning the "need" of this Hamlet are forgetting the only read "need" has come from Tom himself and his "need" to play Hamlet. I doubt he has any concerns that there have been others recently; rather the time scale that he has to play the Dane legitimately is fast ebbing.
There is very little need for this production.
It sort of defines vanity project.
But then it's The Hiddles.

Is it true Mr Hiddleston is going to sing his unaccompanied version of Man In The Mirror in place of To Be Or Not To Be...?

You mean Andrew Scott, though actually I'd be MUCH more interested in Adam Scott's Hamlet than Branagh directing another snoozefest.  Hamlet starts playing Cones of Elsinore, gets distracted, loses interest in vengeance. Wacky hijinks ensue. |

Oh poop. Found this near the bottom of the FAQs section. Anyone not registered yet (as if!) take note. It really wasn't clear and there are definitely 2 of us on this board who haven't done this. That'll teach me to read all the questions first won't it?  What if I am over 25 but would like to buy tickets for someone under that age?You will need to register in the ballot using your name, but you will need to tick the Under 25s option and give the date of birth of the young person you are booking for. At the booking stage, you will be able to give the name of the person collecting the ticket on the day; that person will need to bring photo ID with their date of birth. |

That sounds like if you're buying as a gift and not planning to attend yourself though. What if you want one ticket for your over-25 self who will be collecting the tickets and one for your under-25 companion? This could still be clearer.

This could still be clearer. Couldn't it just! But as I understand it, I should have ticked the under 25 box and given my name but the younger person's date of birth - which I actually did think of doing but decided it was too weird to be ok. Not long now though.  |

I've re-read it thrice and now it sounds to me that whether you have a chance to book tickets you THEN be able to specify the person you're buying for (name of the person collecting the tickets on the day), somewhere within booking process. At least it might be an option.

Look chaps, I do hope we all get tix but I'm betting whether we do or not, the audience will have its full quota of celebs and wannabees, press and media folk as usual. And tix will change hand for silly prices. Call me cynical, but there you are. I am prepared to be proved wrong and would love to be so.
