Thanks very much for the news - especially as I see the cast includes Jeff Nicholson....

[Michael H]

One of my very favourites!

Argh, looks like I'll be in India or Suffolk when it's on.

Hmmm, interesting. Is the Landor nice? Is it unreserved seating?

[armadillo]

Their last Assassins was very good. It's unreserved seating but it only seats about 50 people so no need to worry about the view. The booking system is a bit annoying - you leave an answerphone meassage and wait for the manager/director/box office guy (yep, all one person) to ring you back but setting up online booking isn't cheap. It's a deterrent to me though.

[Backdrifter]

Yes I noticed from their site it's either that or fill in the email form to trigger the return call. Oh well - I'll give it a go - haven't ever been there so it helps with my mission to visit as many London fringe venues as possible.

I hate the "leave a message and we'll call you back" places. I suffer from a mild fear of telephones (yes, really), so simply making the call in the first place is difficult for me. Waiting for the response is more than I'm prepared to put up with, so I usually give places like that a miss.

I like The Landor – I saw the London premiere of Honk! there eight years ago, and I remember the theatre's indignation when the subsequent NT production of the same show termed itself the London premiere – but if I can't talk to a real person when booking I'm not interested.

I too was apprehensive about having to be phoned back, re 'I Love You Because' -
though I struck lucky: a gentleman answered the phone straight away & booked me my ticket.

I can't remember what time I rang, though it was in an evening:
I'd never been to the Landor before,
& I remember after phoning I was fretting
in case the ringing of my telephone call might have disturbed that evening's performance.
(I don't know whether it does or not - it's just something we should perhaps bear in mind unless we're sure it does no harm.)
