Michael Grandage, the ex-artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse, has formed a new company and has put together an amazing programme for this year/next year. He will be based at the Noel Coward Theatre on St Martins Lane, and his programme of 5 plays include the likes of Judy Dench, Simon Russell Beale, Jude Law and Daniel Radcliffe. Best of all, there are masses of ?10 tickets for each show. You can book online or go to the theatre in person and book at the box office.

Hello Ted


I spent a staggering 8 hours at the Noel Coward yesterday for GATZ (which was brilliant).


Personally I wouldn't go up to the top deck - it is a bit high. There were ?10 seats also in the stalls and the first circle (I think it's called the grand circle) and those have mostly been snapped up (but you might get lucky).


The best seats left for ?10 are those in the 2nd circle (again, don't know what it's called) on the arms of the circle.


Otherwise, I think the best bargain seats are those for ?27.50 on the very sides of the first circle. Those are the ones I've been booking and I went and looked at the view from the seats yesterday during one of the intervals in GATZ and they are terrific seats and a bargain at ?27.50.


You can check the seats on www.theatremonkey.com but the seating plan shown is for GATZ which has removed most of the stalls.


Hope this helps.

Brilliant, giggirl, thanks.

Saw those. Good to know.


I'm actually a bit meh-ish about the programme, to be fair. But for a tenner, it's no risk really. For me, ?27.50 cranks it up to "better be worth it".

?10 is so cheap it's practically putting the West End on a par with Peckham Plex.


The play I'm most looking forward to is Privates on Parade with Simon Russell-Beale. I've booked a date near Christmas so it will be my personal panto. There are still some of the good ?10 seats left for this - the back of the Grand Circle - reall bargain.


Can't wait.

I got tickets for Dame Judi as I love Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland and LOVED that 1980s film with Coral Brown when she played her, which name I can never remember. And I went to see her in the IMHO dreadful Madame de Sade but she had sprained her ankle (She could have sat throughout, nobody did anything except Frances Barber who thrashed a whip against her big frock now and again) and an understudy took her place.


I got tenner tickets in second circle from the top which don't have restricted viewing. I shall bring binoculars!

Have booked Peter and Alice and the Criple of Inishmaan for April and August 2013.


We could all be dead by then. Or at very least I will have forgotten where I put the tickets. But I decided I don't go to the theatre enough and just decided to bite the bullet.

Booked for the first two plays - Privates on Parade and Peter & Alice. Looking forward to seeing Simon Russell Beale again and Judi Dench. I read somewhere that Judi Dench has failing eyesight so this could be a last chance to see her on stage. I first saw her 44 years in '68 (as Sally Bowles in Cabaret) and have followed get performances ever since, I wouldn't want to miss that.

    • Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.  
    • Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves.  Seems ED might be one of them ☹️
    • Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces.
