Great review Steve - I agree with some of your points, and you have an analytical eye that I envy! I gave this three and a half but have a hunch if I saw an evening performance, it might have heightened my enjoyment. The roof scene didn't work in bright sunshine.

I'll be seeing it from the very back of the upper circle - do we think the screen will be visible? will anything important be missed? I was sat in row D of the Upper Circle. The screen moves out of the way when not in use. On one occasion, the projection started before the screen had moved into place, but it was quickly visible. Apart from that, the projections were all fully visible. It may depend of where you are positioned but there are occasions where cast are lying or sitting on the sides of the stage and this may be slightly blocked by the curve of the upper circle or the heads of anyone leaning forwards. I don't know about the other levels but it was quite dark in the upper circle even in the interval - too dark to read the programme.

dip - you might want to post on Twickets, since it's quite short notice! Many people will have alerts set up for when an R&J ticket is listed.

... So yes I loved it, but I can also see that this won't be for everyone. It's very stylised but then in my opinion all good art is polarising right? It definitely sparks discussion and thought which great theatre should! I don't think polarisation is a prerequisite for art to be good, but I did appreciate your detailed review, as I can tell from that I would have been on the opposite side of the divide with much rolling of eyes. I'm so glad I resisted the FOMO urge to book. You are right, polarising is the wrong word, sorry. I meant something that sparks discussion / multiple opinions. Which this certainly has, for example this thread has double the views / replies of most plays on here. Including Macbeth with David Tennant. Lloyd and his casting certainly attracts audiences and opinions! On a side note did anyone else see this?, made me laugh - https://www.tiktok.com/@justsammorris/video/7368891087991098657

Just posted in the noticeboard, but got two Row A, Royal Circle tickets for tonight for sale I know they’re not known for their willingness to help usually, but given it’s a sold out run, is it worth a call to ATG to see if they’d resell them for you?

No bites yet, which i thought was odd but y'know. Fingers crossed It’s odd - I’ve signed up for Twickets alerts for this and the tickets aren’t getting snapped up as quickly in the way they were for say A Little Life or Sunset.

Thanks for this advice - box office is going to try and sell them for me
