Theatre - anything on worth seeing?

[WomblingFree]

Making one of my periodic attempts to resurrect this thread?saw The Shark is Broken last week and thought it was great. It?s an imagining of the conversations/personality clashes of the three stars of Jaws behind the scenes while they?re waiting for the mechanical shark to be fixed.

Not sure there?s much depth to it, but it?s very funny, especially if you?re into films. And co-writer Ian Shaw plays his dad Robert (Quint in the film) and being now a similar age the resemblance is scary.

Think it?s nearly finished but Pride & Prejudice sort of , was a real feel good show, very funny with an excellent cast. When I?m went there was a very diverse audience and all seemed to leave with a smile on their face. You don?t need to know the book to follow it

I have enjoyed Dear Evan Hansen and Come From Away recently (I love a musical!)

Am hoping to see Life of Pi soon...

I really enjoyed Come From Away too - not that much of a musical fan but it's really well staged and the music comes from a live band on stage which was great. And the fact that it's based on a true story is both incredible and pretty heartwarming.

Went to see Jerusalem last night. Very, very good and Mark Rylance is outstanding.

Middle at the National.

Agreed. I'm not the biggest theatre fan, but this was outstanding.

Just been to see Giant at the Harold Pinter theatre. Fabulous. I can see why John Lithgow won an Olivier.

Cheers, we tend to go to the National now as much better value than the West End and no issues with restricted views .  I'll message you separately about this play.

I saw "A Man for All Seasons" at Canterbury a few months ago.  It was superb and surprisingly, Gary Wilmot was excellent.

It is coming to London in the autumn and is well worth a trip.
