Now remind me, I think I've seen 'All My Sons' before. I want to say Regents Park? Is this the one where they're always sat on the veranda being beastly to the son's girlfriend?

There was a Regent's Park production and that does sound pretty true to my memory of the play too (though my previous production of it was the West End one with Zoe Wanamaker and David Suchet), so sounds about right!

Lovely. Can't wait. It looks like a great cast and I mean, it's Sally bloomin' Field. The Flying Nun herself.
During the curtain call, I think I'll unveil my "Sally, we like you. We really like you!" banner. I think she'll like that.

A classic American play? By Arthur Miller? Being all about the male characters and not the female ones? *clutches pearls in shock*

Really looking forward to this. The Howard Davies production with Suchet and Wanamaker is still a theatre-going highlight for me and was a superlative production. Interested to see how - and if - this production could top that.

More excited about American Clock tbh. Hope the cast is of sufficient quality.

Email from the theatre saying that if you book for both Arthur Miller plays by Jan 1st, you get a 15% discount on the booking.

"A Very Expensive Poison" is now a lot more topical than it was when originally announced!

Interested to see how - and if - this production could top that. The problem I'm having is that it was so good I don't think I need to see another production. The cast does sound very good, but how can they possibly match that production? Surely I'd be setting myself up for disappointment. |

The best way to gear up for a production of All My Sons is to first bingewatch the HBO series Oz (if you only have time to watch one season, then just make sure you don't pick season one). It'll then take your brain to an ENTIRELY different place when you get to the theatre and realise the son is called Chris Keller.

I like TV shows with Rita Moreno in 'em. I can also strongly recommend One Day At A Time if you like family sitcoms on Netflix.

Has Jenna Coleman got much stage experience? Nothing professional as far as I can see - her CV at her agent's website only lists "The Actor" directed by Colin Snell at the National - he was her school drama teacher and this seems to have been part of NT Connections in 2002. I must admit that is not encouraging. The transition from screen to stage is not always a smooth one for some actors. She may be great. But I fear that is not a given particularly when I can't find any reference to any drama school type training. I know she did stuff when she was younger. But can't see reference to any formal training which would help prepare for the rigours of a run at the Old Vic. |

Often works, though sometimes doesn’t. |

I think Jenna will be just lovely. Plus Tom Hughes may start hanging around the theatre. I shall be stocking up on rohypnol just in case.

Do you mean anything under £65 jampot ? If so, I always go for ends of stalls row Q behind a pillar for £21. Yes, these are the ones I always go for. Great value. Other option is to try for the £10 preview seats. |
