Doctor Atomic
Peter Grimes
Of thee I sing / Let them eat cake
Night Music
DGV
Madame de Sade
Hamlet with Jude
Carousel
La Cage
Time and the Conways
L’ Amor de loin
Fliegende Hollander

Tempted to see View from the Bridge … Wish the Young Vic had an exciting season … Would like to see Waiting for Godot but not at those prices … When will the NT stage another musical … What will the Olympics and the recession do to the arts …

So far I have booked:

Twelfth Night (Donmar West End)
The Pillowman (Leicester)
West Side Story (on tour)
War Horse (National)
The Taming of the Shrew (RSC)
King Lear (Old Vic)
A Little Night Music (Menier)

I also intend seeing a lot more of the RSC, finishing off the Donmar West End season, stalking Rupert Goold a little, and just basically seeing whatever takes my fancy. Plus I'm hoping to make an early February trip to New York, in which case I'll be seeing whatever survives the cull. O_O
