I am probably a bit behind most of you: delayed booking cos of stuff going on.

But today I booked Hedda Gabler, Kiss Me Kate at Old Vic, Judas Kiss at Hampstead and Chorus of Disapproval at the Pinter.
I saw Judas Kiss on its first outing and wasn't that impressed but I thought this cast looks good and a small theatre might bring out the subtleties better. Disapproval should be v funny so booked for birthday. Hedda , as I say on its thread because good to see big female role and K/K cos love the tunes.

So is there anything else I should have booked. Thinking Arturo? and Chariots of Fire? Such good reviews but how can it be as good as the film?

55 Days?

Mark Gattis is Charles I

Thoroughly recommend Arturo. An excellent Brechtian production!

Yes, and as he was so brilliant in the otherwise somewhat bland Recruiting Officer he is worth a look. I don't think he is obvioulsy Charles I though, Charles II maybe.

Eeep, thanks for this! I'd missed it, and it looks great. Booked.

Have you booked for the Michael Grandage season in 2017?!

The Carmen at ENO looks good.

I can’t wait for the revival of the Rufus Norris Cabaret; I think Will Young will be rather good.

Also Dolls House at the Young Vic / Twin it with Hedda for some bleak drama in south London

… I also can’t wait Kiss me Kate. Such a brilliant score

Have you already considered the new Royal Court season?  And did the 3rd play in the new Hampstead season not appeal?  Charley's Aunt at the Menier?  The Second Mrs Tanqueray at the Rose?  (This last seems quite rarely-performed to me - first chance I've had to see it, that I recall.)

Thanks, lots to think about. Didn't know about the Roger Rees or 55 days. I've got the start of the Grangage season. I usually wait for you to alert me Royal Ct as it a little more effort for me to get there. So it has to be good. Credit card ahoy.

Booked 55 days. Looks interesting. Thanks, xanderl, I can blame you if a dud! Only joking. I am responsible for my own decisions!
