Faith Healer - Old Vic In Camera

Quality

Joined the queue for fun at some point yesterday with number 1899, waited more than an hour, the little man walked, but the number 1899 didn't count down. When I was allowed to go to the website, I got an error message. Re-joined with number 4000+. God, what fun is real theatre...

As it's streamed, there's no limit to tickets, really. I started around 2,000 in the queue, waited an hour, then booked my £10 ticket.

Marketing 101: Create buzz and demand.

They would be incredibly stupid to not sell as many tickets as they can in these dire times when they badly need the income. The FAQ also state clearly that everyone will have the same view, no matter how much they've paid for the ticket. They just hope that people will be generous by forking out £30 or £40.

I csn do the zooming thing but it is difficult for my OH to see on my iPad and his laptop isn’t much bigger but he uses it on a desk in front of him so not easily portable to a comfy setting. I can watch You tube too on my super smart tv but does anyone know how I could get a zoom onto the tv screen? I know it is something about syncing the devices but i am not very teccy. Anyone help? If I could do this them the streamed onto zoom stuff out there would be very much more appealing.
To avoid boring the cognoscenti, could you DM me if you can help. Ta.

Ta, mate. I will check out both options. 

They do a good job of building the excitement and buzz of live theatre in the fifteen minutes before, and I thought Michael Sheen was quite brilliant in this but... I gave up after the second monologue. It's just all too grim at the moment and this was remorselessly bleak, terribly terribly wordy and static. I just found it a really hard watch and couldn't concentrate even though I was sitting in a dark room,just me and the laptop. I suddenly remembered half way through why I've never bothered with this live. Time for the Old Vic to do something a little lighter in this series perhaps?

It finished about 9.55, though it didn't have an interval, just brief gaps for the set/scene changes.

I don't think so. Couple minute introduction, I guess few minutes over all between monologues gaps, just played bit slower I guess. Didn't seem particularly long or slow once I'd bedded in.

I've just watched this and thought it was excellent. A fabulous way to spend a couple of hours. Well worth it!

Was such an odd experience watching this, the bell warnings and pre crowd noise made me grin then had to keep reminding self it was live and not just another youtube re run. So took a while to relax into it but the intimacy was great and of course most people in the old vic would never be that close up.

Was worried I'd be interrupted, relieved not to be. I'd do it again.

Nope, I've had the same selfish reckless thoughts!
