Fantastic news.  Didn't get to see it last time.

Great news! I'll have to go again as it was one of my thetre highlights of the year so far!

Cast announced (no idea how new this news is, I've only just looked) - http://www.barbican....d=13735&pg=4117. obviously Sinead Matthews is now Jessica Raine in The Changeling (which I missed first time round and kicked myself for doing so after reviews - was it as good as people said it was and should I make the effort to see it this year?), and Angus Wright is in Privates on Parade, but Paul Rhys is still in which is brilliant news for anyone who's going to see it - he was extraordinary in it in March and seemed irreplacable (that said, so did Sinead Matthews).  For people who brought a programme or with better memories than I, who's now playing Margarita and which other actors are being replaced?

Also, on a Barbican note, I'm trying to book tickets for Watt, which have a student discount on Wednesday evenings apparently, but when I try and book it won't apply any discounts apart from for members.  Is it an online thing or am I just being dense?

Susan Lynch (The Beauty Queen of Leenane at Young Vic) will be playing Margarita, replacing Sinead Matthews.

I thought The Changeling was fantastic - well worth a look. Only thing that puts me off going again is that seating is unallocated in the main house at the Young Vic for this one.

I will be there....queuing early at the door...small price to pay for that early bird £10 ticket and Sinead Matthews plus the madness that is The Changeling!

Sky Arts is showing the recent Russian TV version from next week, which should be an interesting comparison

Seeing this again on 21st. I thought it was excellent earlier in the year.

29th for me! Matinee.

Thanks, xanderl, I'd like to see the Russian version.
