There is nothing I like more than a good amortisation on a Tuesday afternoon.

So that's why my accountancy lecturer always used to give me a strange look?

I still have problems getting my tongue around EBITDA. Such a mouthful!

What's the likelihood of getting a Young Bridge £15 ticket to this in the Advance sale tomorrow? Will the allocation have sold out?

What's the likelihood of getting a Young Bridge £15 ticket to this in the Advance sale tomorrow? Will the allocation have sold out? Just had a look and there's loads of Young Bridge availability by the looks of it, so I think you'll be successful – it's the standard allocation, sides of row B in Gallery 3!

Well that was the easiest booking experience. Five minutes in a queue then straight onto the date I wanted and got a £15 seat no problem. A high up seat but I'm told the views from pretty much everywhere in the theatre are good so I'm really, really looking forward to it!

That wasn’t as hectic as I was expecting. I got a £55 seat by the side of the stage. I’ve not been to the Bridge Theatre before so i’m hoping views from the side won’t be too bad.
Now to go & hide my wallet before I start buying more theatre tickets & go completely broke!

Surprisingly, A pain free ticket purchase this morning for a stalls ticket. An opportunity to see Dame Maggie was not going to be missed.

Succumbed to an advance membership because I'll be in a meeting when public sale opens tomorrow.
Not many cheaper tickets left on the dates I checked - I ended up going for the £39.5 seats in the corner of gallery 2.

Compared to the usual hot ticket booking nightmares, this was incredibly easy. Once I booked, however, I realised I'd booked a ticket for All My Sons, for the very same date... I really need to start using a calendar, apparently I'm not so young anymore.

Relatively painless public booking. It is selling well but there were decent tickets available for most dates I looked at. The Easter weekend (19th and 20th April) had a lot left.

Very straightforward booking. I got three tickets for £15 so I have happy friends too.

Yep, I think most people on here would have been in the queueing system. I certainly was. Straight forward, but a lonnnng wait. Managed to get the last £15 ones in the 1st gallery. She's popular Our Mags. The Bridge finally has a hit on their hands.

Got in relatively easy but didn't fancy paying £60+ for stalls or £40 for restricted high up. So decided to hold off and just book for the NT Live recording at the cinema.

Not sure if it made it any quicker but I selected a date and got the page where you select a section of the theatre before 10:00, then selected an area at 10 and was about 280 in the queue. I guess if you are going in from the date selection page you have another step to get through pre-queue.

Plenty of availability still from the £37.50 tickets up - I completely forgot to book this morning and there is now no queue!

I know this is a dumb question but what kind of play will this be? Very deep and intelligent that will.go right over my head or a bit lighter or a comedy? You can tell I really only do shallow musicals

You can tell I really only do shallow musicals Not a comedy! It's the true story of Brunhilde Pomsel Towards the end of her life she wrote a memoir and was interviewed on camera - as this is a one-woman show I suspect it may be Dame Maggie as Brunhilde talking as if to the film-makers? Presumably will also reflect the fact as noted in some reviews of her book ... Quotes from www.bloomsbury.com/uk/the-work-i-did-9781408894491/

Based on the below, it doesn't sound like it's going to be a *barrel* of laughs..... A new play by Christopher Hampton, drawn from the life and testimony of Brunhilde Pomsel, directed by Jonathan Kent “I had no idea what was going on. Or very little. No more than most people. So you can’t make me feel guilty.” Brunhilde Pomsel’s life spanned the twentieth century. She struggled to make ends meet as a secretary in Berlin during the 1930s, her many employers including a Jewish insurance broker, the German Broadcasting Corporation and, eventually, Joseph Goebbels. Christopher Hampton’s play is based on the testimony she gave when she finally broke her silence to a group of Austrian filmmakers, shortly before she died in 2016. Maggie Smith, alone on stage, plays Brunhilde Pomsel.

“Oh, that Goebbels, he was a right joker! Had me in fits all day...” Hope that comment was an attempt at humour and not a dig at me for a totally innocent question. I sometimes think I should keep quiet on here.

I suspect the play will challenge our judgement of her as a witness to the decisions made by her 'masters' . Was she complicit? Was she sympathetic? An actor of the stature of MS will be able to convey the ambiguities. Should be great. Fingers crossed.

“Oh, that Goebbels, he was a right joker! Had me in fits all day...” It might be the former history teacher in me but I proper laughed at that. I'm a terrible human. But yes as my Monkey friend says above, generally assume sarcasm/not taking anything very seriously. After all far too many people take the-at-re very seriously (dahling) enough for the rest of us to lark about a bit.

I assume this will be NT Live'd? It'll be lovely to be there but equally it'll be nice to see it a second time at the cinema and catch all the detail up close.
