I don't think I've seen any 'play-of-the-film' before. Any examples where the play of a classic film brings something different and new enough to make it stand alongside the original? Festen - stage version by David Eldridge and directed by Rufus Norris - was an outstanding reimagining of a classic movie. Oh cool. It's been a while since I saw it but iirc festen felt fairly 'theatrical' to begin with; mostly set in a single house, sticking to the paired down dogme style and whatnot... Glad to hear though that this could work out well. Fingers crossed. Although I suspect the rush on ticket day for this will make Angels In America seem like a stroll in the park.

Not sure quite what to make of Network. Would be great to see Bryan Cranston on stage, but the film is such a classic that I wonder if the play could feel more than a nice cover. I wonder if they're planning to update it much to reflect the current American political situation. Cranston's certainly been quite vocal against Trump.

No news on Lucy Kirkwood's Mosquitos? Not too far away iirc.

Thanks very much for such a quick response. Sounds like a great deal so I'll definitely give it a go. You dont however seem to get cheaper tickets for the Upstairs shows. And the Mondays might now be sold out or near to sold out for the Downstairs shows so may not reflect how it looks at the beginning of season opening of course. Ah, thanks for the extra info. The show I'm going for is B. I don't know yet if it's upstairs or downstairs, but from what I can tell, the tickets haven't been put on sale yet so finger crossed I'll be able to get decent seats!

As RC member you tend to have access to lots of £12 seats throughout the theatre. When I booked for the recent season when it opened I bought tickets in the middle of the stalls for most shows. Thanks very much for such a quick response. Sounds like a great deal so I'll definitely give it a go.

Does anyone know how the Royal Court Friends scheme works? The website mentions that you get access to their "£12 Monday tickets", but are these different to the £12 cheap balcony tickets that seem to be listed for most shows?
At the moment I'm only intending to see one show at the Royal Court this season, but I'm going with quite a few people so if the Friend scheme provides discounts on better seats then the saving might work out better than paying full price without membership...

Just a quick note, I ran through the dates looking for cheap seats, so in case anyone here is still looking there's a solitary £15 stalls row C ticket remaining on the ATG website. It's on March 14th.
