So now I'm at the front of the queue and logged in but it won't let me buy anything! I had the same problem as under the show picture when I clicked on show name wouldn't allow me to buy but if I clicked on theatre name or date it would. Strange glitch. I had dropped the Box Office an email about this and they called me within 15mins which I thought was good service.

I really enjoyed this. I went with very low expectations and came away very moved. The last few lines were heartbreaking. Well done to the Almeida for staging this. A good week for theatre after The Flick on Thursday which I adored.

I was asking myself the same question!

So last night we had an actual vomiter, which added appropriate surround-smell as well as sound to the event; the clanking of the poor staff cleaning it up also blended in quite well. Luckily the sound covered the cleaning though there was a lot of rummaging around with a torch as I think something else was lost apart from the contents of the poorly audience member's stomach. I did find myself bored at times - not Matthew Tennyson's fault but it was during two of his moments. As ever Michelle Terry was excellent - truly one of the finest actresses on the stage.

Saw Saturday's matinee. My socks are still on the theatre chandelier, and I staggered out. My goodness, the writing is accurate and uncompromising, the production stunning - I've never truly seen inside a diseased mind before. Even more interesting, though Gough is jaw-droppingly, droolingly outstanding... Barbara Marten is actually the best actor on the stage. Not just a character, a real person. So impressive. Oh, and I checked out those stage seats during the interval. The £15 row SA is the biggest bargain on the planet. If you are under 5ft 6 you'll squeeze into row SB, with the outermost seat having space for one leg to stretch. In SC and SD, 5ft 4 or less or else cramp. And don't go for the centre seats in SD, behind a wall. Down in the stalls, the centre seat in all rows gets a chair in the way. B16 peered through the hole in the chair a bit, so go a couple of seats off-centre. Sat in SB last night - what amazing value and pretty comfy. Enhanced by a view of Clive Owen in the audience - swoon.
