I went for the back row - should still be able to tell Simm and SRB apart

Even appealing things like this can't make me pay West End prices for a decent seat. I'm holding out for a cheap Monday or £10 dayseats

Mondays are greyed out on the calendar so I assume the £15 Mondays will again be running. Maybe to answer my earlier question, those currently not-for-sale seats will be the £10 dayseats - in which case there's quite a few
The statement from Jamie Lloyd talks about how he's pleased to be bringing this to a younger audience through their £15 Mondays, so looks like that offer will apply for this production.

its just a shame virtually all the other seats are £54! I sat on the second-to-last row for Macbeth and the view was fine.

Alternatively it's a masterpiece - http://www.guardian....jul/19/theatre2
Depends whether you see Michael Billington or Mr Barnaby as an authority on the theatre I guess. I enjoyed the National production.

I'm sure it's a good play because SRB and John Simm decided to be in it, but I can imagine it's not everybody's taste: It's Pinter!

It gets done quite a lot - there was a production at the NT about 5 years ago whose cast included Henry Woolf, a school chum of Pinter. And Pinter himself performed in it at the Comedy Theatre-as-was c1996 (in the SRB role I *think*). It has quite a large cast so don't be put off by the thought of a dreary two-hander with lots of pauses. It is still Pinter though...

It's not one of the best Pinters but I disagree it's "terrible". I too enjoyed the NT production a few years back. In some ways it's not much like what you might expect from HP.
