Great performances in this...everyone very well cast and lovely set and direction. Fiennes majestic - he changes from commanding to vunerable in an instant and his comic timing is a gift. From X6 in the balcony I was completely mesmerised by him. I think the Old Vic have a hit on thier hands! On a practical note wear layers....the theatre got quite hot despite them pumping cold air on to us in the balcony!
Splendid night out!

Thanks for all the hard work (and stressful decisions) setting up this great forum! It is very cheering to see old friends popping up and lots of lurkers emerging from the shadows too!

Went to see this last night and against majority opinion couldn't bear to stay for second half. The main problem was people laughing like hyenas at anything Andrew Scott's character did....so basically finding disability and tragedy hilarious......I found it excruciating. I have come across this before, when people laugh at racist or horrible bits in plays, but as this was pretty much continuous it was hard to bear. Interestingly not those on the front row but people further back (perhaps the front of the queue was similar theatre obsessives like us?)
For those still to go, the queue to get in from the bar area inside started before 6.45pm(we were about 8th having joined then)and as soon as it had started it built up very quickly! Seats very closely packed....venue quite cold, wrap up wam!
Disappointing
