Sienna aside, there is something filthily foxy about Jack O'Connell though . . . I mean you're not wrong Ryan, you're not wrong...

I booked her the middle of upper (grand) circle in the end Centre of row D I think you've done the very best you can, Parsley, well done. At least she has the aisle to put a leg into, if need be. I will get a beating if the seats are too bad But an even bigger beating if the show is no good 😂😂😂

Well, I made a pilgrimage to the Crucible Theatre Sheffield to see Jack O'Connell in The Nap.
And I saw Sienna Miller in David Lan's Young Vic on Walkabout As You Like It at Wyndham's.
And Benedict Andrews is one of the hot directors at the Young Vic, the Barbican and globally.
But it's less than a year since Robert Hastie's Theatr Clwyd COaHTR with Catrin Stewart.
So, regrettably, I'll pass on this.

I think if I can get one of the Young Vic's £10 Under 25 tickets I'll go, otherwise will give it a miss.

^ Loads of those on the front row of the grand circle (ideal if you are under 5ft as there is no legroom) and two boxes at that level. Bookable on the Young Vic site. Thanks TM. Ended up booking a £20 seat through Nimax as the YV site wouldn't even load.

Booked. I've seen it before but I imagine this time I will really feel Maggie's frustration. Perhaps to the point of doing a bit of yowling from the grand Circle myself Those ears! and i'm watching it the day before Angels in America, so between him and Russell Tovey i'm gonna be in ear lovers heaven haha.

Eh, maybe I'll pass on this one for the time being. There might be a lottery/day seats later in a better position than the back of the grand.

I don't care who's in the cast. You couldn't pay me to see Benedict Andrews muck up another Tennessee Williams play.

Not sure if who's playing Big Daddy has been announced but can't find it anywhere? Are they going for a 'name'? Fantasy casting if so: Spacey, John Goodman, Albert Finney (too old?), Sean Bean, SRB?

David Suchet? He does good American accent. Huge theatre, iffy female lead, bloke I don't know with ears... maybe I'll give this a miss. It is a good play though.

Not sure if who's playing Big Daddy has been announced but can't find it anywhere? Is Giant Haystacks still with us? He could do it. To be honest I didn't realise the play was about wrestling. I thought it was about Liz Taylor, bits of gayness and a few sweaty vests.

Gerard Murphy would have been very good.

You can't just 'no' somebody's opinion away. And whilst I'm happy to hear a different point of view, just saying 'no' doesn't give me any explanation as to why you disagree.

Shirley Crabtree? (one for the teenagers there!) It would be EASY, EASY, EASY to cast him.
There was a Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks show at the Fringe a couple of years ago, really enjoyed it. Sadly the 20 or so of us that were there were all of a certain vintage

Will the entire cast be performing in a Perspex box?
I saw Benedict Andrews' protégé Simon Stone's Death Of A Salesman at Belvoir Street in Sydney with Colin Friels which took place entirely in a car. 🙄

Note to self: Take loofah. Check. Prepare explanation for when bag is searched and they find said loofah. Check.

I really liked Jack O'Connell in The Nap. Never seen him in anything else, but he was excellent. I can't imagine him being American, but I'm happy to try it out. I don't know the play (never seen the film) but I've enjoyed the other TW plays I've seen. I wasn't going to go because of the high prices but I just found £40 seats front of the balcony, officially restricted view but don't seem too bad, so I'm going, woo.

My only interest in this is seeing Colm Meaney, but the prices are far too high, so unless there's a few bargains thrown up (which I doubt), I'll be giving this a miss.
