I have a few gaps in the diary between now and Xmas, so am wondering what you would recommend that I may have missed. I like serious stuff but also good comedy, not musicals...
I have booked for Enron for Jan in West End. And I've got the new Alan Bennett.

And what stands out for the New Year so far? I am prepared to cut the cellophane off new diary pages about now.

If you want something serious, then I couldn't recommend Our Class at the NT any more, it is sensational. And I loved Speaking in Tongues too.

Aside from that I am looking forward to Mrs Klein with Clare Higgins at the Almeida, and Cock with Ben Whishaw at the Royal Court in the next couple of months.

The Shawshank Redemption?

Thanks - any more?
I think I will look at Mrs Klein and Endgame..

The only two MUST-sees I have listed for the rest of the year are slightly controversial. Pains of Youth may be Katie Mitchell, but I approve of her casting, dammit! But Inherit the Wind should be a safe enough bet, as long as Trevor Nunn hasn't artificially inflated the running time any. So definitely add the latter (if you've not seen it already? I forget) but steer clear of the former until we've had time to check it out.

I have a few gaps in the diary between now and Xmas,

Yes, me too.

Life is a Dream ? Dr. Faustus ?

Weez, I've got Inherit the Wind. Can't miss our Kev, white wig or not.

As for our Katie...it would be optimism over experience, can't do it. Don't make me. You are young......
