Missed nothing of the office/bathroom from my seat towards the left of the auditorium.
Really enjoyed this, 3+ hours but never dragged. Was dubious about the modern "Camp Bastion" type setting, but worked well, bags of testosterone and machismo. All the cast very good - Desdemona girly without being wet. We can see Iago's a wrong'un from the opening scene when he slyly pockets Roderigo's ciggies. And what a lovely voice Adrian Lester has.

Prunella Scales and husband (whose name I shamefully can't recall and can't be bothered to google) at the Orange Tree last night for The Man Who Pays The Piper. Which was a really excellent production and worth catching if you can.

But (returning to the original point) why do they need the ticket back at all? Surely easy to void it with computerised booking systems. Have theatres been stung so often by dodgy customers that all trust / good faith has gone out of the window?

Just been told by a box office bod who no doubt had a straight face at the time that he can't issue me new exchanged tix until they have the old ones in their possession as 'the tickets are the property of the theatre'. Why [ o why] can't they issue tickets so that you don't have to do this? I resent the stamp!

It was the Noel Coward actually - I was changing my Judi Dench tix. So two nice tix for Sat 9th March should be available......

I had to swap my dates for Privates On Parade, and the Noel Coward box office insisted I sent back the original ticket by Special Delivery before they would send out the replacement (which naturally came by standard mail...)

Bagged a stalls seat for the matinee on 24th April! About a dozen left (all stalls) for that performance.
