Am I blind? I can't find the list of dates anywhere or rather for how long this will be running...
Edit: Yes, I'm blind, zahidf posted the end date. Sorry, I lost several braincells over the possibility to see Timmy Chalamet live on stage.

The play seems often to be described as 'warm', which is a scare-word for me. The lead character is described as 'feisty', which is another one. Impressed with Warchus' casting, though.

I really really like the play, and the cast is superb! Dearest theatremonkey.com.com, could you remind us what the bargain seats are? I'll offer bananas on your altar. |

I saw it at Lincoln Center and it's a very fine play and this is a SUPERB cast ! Chalamet a smart choice for a role that the wonderful Gabriel Ebert nailed Off Broadway.

Oh God. Now I'm a bit excited. At my age, I should really start saving money and not spend everything on trips to London...

What do we reckon the risks of this selling out very quick are? It's not on for long and Chalamet is likely to be a decent draw. This'll be on for my mum's birthday and she is a big fan of his, as am I, so I definitely want to go and I'm just wondering how on top of things I'll have to be.

Wow! What a lovely surprise, will absolutely be going to this assuming there are some half decent affordable seats.

could you remind us what the bargain seats are No chance. I'll offer bananas on your altar. Oh, in that case, Q35, Q3, and ends of B to E in the circle, plus the ones behind pillars in the circle - others on here may give you the numbers if you have enough bananas. |

I saw this at the old Print Room Theatre in Notting Hill in 2013 (it transferred from the Ustinov in Bath) - with Sara Kestelman in the role which is now going to be played by Eileen Atkins. I rather enjoyed it even if the ending, rather like Herzog's Belleville, didn't quite work for me - and it has two meaty central characters which will be a good fit for the Old Vic actors. I recall it feeling a rather intimate play so will be interested to see how it plays in a much larger house - though I had similar concerns about Lungs which turned out to be unfounded.

This is going to be really difficult to get tickets considering how popular Timothée Chalamet is. Is it known when the tickets go on general sale?

Interesting that it's announced now - I've just heard a piece on the radio about people increasingly going in for live 'experiences' (gigs, festivals, theatre) rather than spending money on material stuff, and they had someone on saying their kids had asked for gig tickets for concerts next year rather than physical gifts for Christmas. The Old Vic is kind of like a stadium gig, so maybe this will be the theatre equivalent of trying to get a Teletubby doll/Buzz Lightyear for your teenager at Xmas?
