Not sure audiences are going to be as fascinated as to how Hamlet was staged on Broadway in 1964 as the luvvies think they will 'Luvvies'? I'm always amazed when people who seem to like theatre, and presumably feel a large amount of gratitude for all the pleasure theatre people have given them over the years, reveal their contempt for them - which is what the word 'luvvies' suggests to me. Writers, directors, actors - why the need to mock them? |

Most of the luvvies would have put a fantasist called Jeremy Corbyn into that job. That's why they get mocked. Because they talk about truth when they have a very tenuous relationship with reality. |

Back to the show and annoyingly there seems to be a big gap of no performances between 10th and 27th June, which is of course when I was looking to book, so that I could nail The Pillowman, Patriots and A Little Life on the same trip. What a pain.

What a pain. Yes, gets notebook and diary out, finds date, looks at schedule….”oh, there’s a gap”…… |

I know that gap is not the return of rep, but out of interest have the NT said anything about when/if they will return to rep?

What a pain. Dates are currently only going up as far as 10th June, with more to come. Maybe the June performance 'gap' which appeared online earlier in the week was a glitch. Here's hoping they announce full dates soon because 20th April - 10th June is pretty limited. |

There’s been 1216 people ahead of me for 20 minutes. They clearly don’t know what they’re doing

This is so surprising because the Nash is normally the absolute best for queuing,,,

I am down to 467 - the lowest I've been in the 3 hours since I first logged on - yet somehow still very far.
