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.

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Jojo_B · Posted

      Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo

      Milk delivery

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.

      Milk delivery

      Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By Azalea · Posted

      This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
