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!

To be honest I'm not sure a lot of the British people watching it know all the PMs in the play. And anyway it's a West End play that attracts a lot of international audience who very probably don't know many of the PMs but just want to see it because of Helen Mirren. I include myself into it.

As I understand it, for this production they have built a bank of seats at the rear of the stage to create seats on all sides. However, the Theatremonkey site suggests the dayseats are allocated 'randomly', i.e. not a specific set of seats, so you take pot luck on where your dayseat might be. Can anyone confirm this? I'm not so keen to try for it if that's the case.

We were told (I day seated during previews) day seats are always last row on stage. Don't know if they changed that.

Has anyone done day seats for this? If so, what is the view like from them and any idea what time to get there on a Saturday to be in a chance to get two? Many thanks!

View is as good as from other stage seats - generally very good, but you get a sightly restricted view when you sit on the outer sides of the benches - only that is last row of them. The cast waits behind a curtain behind them when they are not on stage.

I fell asleep and then struggled to keep awake (after some people's squealings have woken me up) when I watched it last month - very disappointing!
