www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/the-solid-life-of-sugar-waterDue to a friend dropping out, I have a spare ticket for this show on Saturday 5 March, 3-420pm. It was £20 but my friend isn't expecting to recover the monies, so it is free (or you can offer a contribution). You would need to meet me before the show, and sit with me (!!). Do send me a message if you are interested. I would prefer someone to enjoy the show than for there to be an empty seat. When I say "enjoy" by all accounts it is quite serious, and the friend who has seen it at the Edinburgh Festival said "grown men were in tears" so bring your hankies. In the unlikely event I get multiple replies, it goes to either a) first reply b) friendliest reply or c) hottest guy! PS. I am too late to return the ticket for a credit voucher due to not being in town, and the show isn't sold out, so I doubt returning the spare ticket to the box office will help.

I saw this at the Royal Exchange in Manchester a couple of weeks ago. Whilst the subject matter is very harrowing, they play has a beautiful lightness of touch and in fact contains a lot of humour, and although yes it can be heartbreaking it is ultimately quite uplifting. A brilliant show, probably the best thing I've seen so far this year.

Couldn't agree with you more, saw this, this evening and a very enjoyable play, despite the seriousness nature of the piece at times.

The unanimously positive reviews persuaded me, against my initial instinct, to see this. I can see that it was well written and performed, but it really wasn't my sort of thing and left me unmoved, heartless as that will sound to those who have seen it. Unfortunate coincidence, perhaps, but only a few weeks earlier I had seen another play (Iphigenia In Splott) at the same venue, which covered the same subject, so a second felt too much, too soon.
