The other obvious question (surely not for me alone?) is why yet more blasted Ibsen, and this one, too? A Doll's House is rarely off the London stage and there are sometimes even overlapping productions. Jessica Chastain in fine in film but I'd never go to a play for the names, though a cast including actors I rate would be a plus, as would actors I don't rate be a deterrent.

I love Ibsen but yes i agree some of others would be welcome, John Gabriel Borkman for instance has three big roles including two female. Im still waiting for Lady Inga of Ostraat which is surely worth someone reviving?

I wonder what’s going to fill the gap between Cyrano and A Doll’s House Baz says it's still being negotiated. Apparently there will be three productions in the season. Hmmm, any rumours what it might be?

Check your emails. ATG members and previous Jamie Lloyd bookers should have a link for a 24 hour pre-sale.

What was the point in getting people to sign up in advance if you aren't going to do a presale properly? Though at those prices I think I'll be day seating - early mornings aren't half as bad in summer. I notice it is only 7 shows per week for some parts of the run as well.

Booked central row D, the JL season is proving popular and availability didn’t ease for Cyrano with even the ‘relatively’ cheap stalls seats being difficult to get.
This year has been mainly sub £30 seats so far and therefore this can fortunately be absorbed in my aim of no more than £30 average ticket price for the year.

I'm fairly sure that all the Jamie Lloyd productions will be in the NT Live season. But maybe not. Either way, I ain't crippling myself to pay them cray cray prices!

I really question the point of the bloody ATG Card if there's no discounts to seats even in the Upper Circle! What are the chances of this one being NT Live'd (I know it isn't NT but being Chastain is a big film star I assume there would be an audience).

Cyrano is in the Jamie Lloyd season and that has a scheduled NT Live. They are missing a trick not to have The Seagull and A Doll's House also in there because they would also both get big international audiences. Plus it's the only way I plan to see it. So let's stay positive and say that there a 90% chance?

I booked tickets today , row D.. aren't they selling any stalls rows A, B or C ? I didn't see any for any date and what's the difference between a Full price Jamie Lloyd ticket and a full price non Jamie Lloyd ? the prices were the same. I didn't understand that

Booked for the first preview (just fitted my schedule, next day will be first Sunday in the Park preview), last seat in the front row Dress Circle. Normally want/must sit close to the stage but nothing before row G available. Oh well...

I’m always assuming everything is) Don't think Sonia is involved. I've always found with her stuff there are some relatively reasonable tickets sprinkled about the place.

I caved and bought an Upper Circle aisle seat for the week after press night as they were cheaper - I can lean into the aisle and I'm short enough that safety rails and legroom issues usually don't bother me.

There is a date held in the NTLive calendar that falls in the middle of this run, with the show title yet to be announced.
I have a hunch all the Jamie Lloyd nonsense will end up being broadcast in cinemas but make of that what you will.

Anyone else feel the Jamie Lloyd Company is handling this badly? No announcements that I know of, their website still displays the info for Seagull and Doll's House, as if it were happening, nothing on Twitter since March (that I can see). Basically all the blame put on ATG for closing their venues until (insert date here), no info that shows had to be cancelled or they are actively working to put on the season later. All very strange...

And nothing from the stars of the plays on social media either - it is as if they have been told not to mention it at all...
