Alyson asked "is the score to just turn up on the night with our dosh and approach a tall geezer for a ticket?" and I replied...
Yes, Alyson, that would be the score..! So just so long as Michael Jordan doesn't turn up on the same night, there shouldn't be too much confusion.
We have a record 13 people booked in for Thursday! I'm told by a friend who's already been at the play to prepare yourselves for a slowish start, but for it to liven up in the second half. Did anyone hear what Ciaran and Heather thought of it?
I have one spare ticket reserved, it there's anyone yet who'd like to come..?
I think a lot of us missed... some of us missed... it took me a while to settle in, and I missed of lot of the introductory plot between Lady Sneerwell and Mr Snake. I thought her ladyship's role was not woven well into the rest of the play, leaving her to return at the end to tie up loose ends, rather than drive the plot.
But considering this play was written in 1777, some 230 odd years ago, think of its influence since... did it influence Les Liaisons Dangereuses?.. all of Wilde's social comedies?.. and what about Big Brother?
The set and lighting were excellent, giving an Alice-in-Wonderland feel to a period piece, down to the choreographed scene changes.
And here's Eoin's quote of the evening: "Certainly a little mortification appears very becoming in a wife".
Definitely deserving of the 4 Stars. It definitely resonates today - we have our own scandal sheets - OK, Hello et al - let alone the Big Brother bruhaha.
While I did catch the interest of Lady Sneerwell (what great names!) in Charles, I agree that she was not woven into the plot but just seemed a tag on. Aside from that, great play.
