One For Sorrow( Royal Court)

Yes I saw the second or third preview

You might think this is predictable

But I left at the interval

It is so badly written

Inane

I did love Nine Night

Which is a band new play

If this is any consolation

Thanks for the links, Parsley!

This has had pretty decent reviews - as far as I can see it has averaged 3 stars, which really isn’t bad for a first time writer. Despite the reservations of the critics - including our very own Parsley - I would be interested to see this. It sounds quite ambitious.

I saw this on Saturday and thought it was alright. It certainly wasn't a masterpiece and the writing really wasn't my cup of tea (as parsley said, it's quite unrealistic and I also found it quite annoying that people constantly repeated each other's lines) but it did have strong moments in my opinion, mainly whenever one character went on a bit of a monologue. I felt like it could've used some cutting down but I am glad I stayed for the second half which was quite a bit better than the first in my opinion.
I think the subject matter is really important even though it made me quite uncomfortable. I'm massively afraid of everything that you could possibly be afraid of so I even get uncomfortable watching the news because bad things keep happening and it's tough to watch for me. Nevertheless, I think it's important to talk about these things (i.e. terrorism and fear), especially because they're uncomfortable and aren't fun to talk about. So I think it's good the play is tackling this, even though I'm not really sure it does it well at all times. Having said that, I would still encourage people to see it (if you can get a cheap ticket) because it has the potential to make you think about these matters.
