Why oh why....here I was thinking that it would be a quiet time next year as I didn't fancy anything much and then....I booked Red(Donmar), EGBDF(National- I was sad to miss this last year)), Serenading Louis, Polar Bears(Donmar-I just can't resist!), Measure for Measure(Almeida), Hedda Gabler(Oxford Playhouse- with Rosamund Pike), Glass Menagerie(Oxford Playhouse...I love TW) and suddenly I don't seem to have enough dates....or money left for The Caretaker. Arrg! I need to take out a small **** too!
And there's the RSC (Anthony & Cleopatra) and The Globe to book yet! And I quite fancy Waiting for Godot too....
What's everyone else got planned?!

As things currently stand, my list for 2010 goes as follows:

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - Novello
The Habit of Art - National (Lyttelton)
Legally Blonde - Savoy
Oliver! - Theatre Royal Drury Lane
Red - Donmar Warehouse
Sister Act - London Palladium
Antony and Cleopatra - Courtyard
As You Like It - Old Vic
As You Like It - Courtyard
The Caretaker - Trafalgar Studios 1
The Fantasticks - Duchess
Hair - Gielgud
King Lear - Courtyard
The Lieutenant of Inishmore - Curve
The Little Dog Laughed - Garrick
London Assurance - National (Olivier)
Love Never Dies - Adelphi
Measure for Measure - Almeida
Morte d'Arthur - Courtyard
Polar Bears - Donmar Warehouse
Romeo and Juliet - Courtyard
Serenading Louie - Donmar Warehouse
Six Degrees of Separation - Old Vic
The Tempest - Old Vic
The White Guard - National (Lyttelton)

And, of course, everything at the Globe for at least half the summer, and whatever else pops up that sounds good. Passion at the Donmar, maybe a trip back to Bath in the summer... I might see if I can squeeze a couple of the "already open" shows into the remainder of 2009, but with Christmas on the way, that's not looking *very* likely. Heaven help my bank account... D:

I thought I went to the theatre alot - about once a fortnight on average. You guys put me to shame. I would like to go more but time and money prevent me as I dont live in London and have to factor transport costs in as well as the price of the ticket - although I do very well for offers etc.

I started reviewing with this site a few years ago, they are always looking for reviewers in the provinces and for the regional theatres why not send them an email - may save you a fortune!
