Theatre - anything on worth seeing?

[alice]

electra last saturday - wonderful

[bawdy-nan]

saw the brilliant Simon Stephens / Katie Mitchell cherry orchard tonight - just wonderful

[Robert Poste's Child]

To the St James, one of my favourite theatres at the moment, to see Accolade. Definitely worth seeing, though I was distracted during the first act by my neighbour's appalling wind problem. I enjoyed the way the scenery moved (I think this was deliberate rather than due to my previous point).

The Ruling Class with James McAvoy at Trafalgar Studios was fantastic, one of the best plays I've seen in ages. Some of the satire's a bit dated, but it's still really funny and an amazing performance from McAvoy. I think the whole run's sold out, but if you can find a way of getting tickets I'd recommend it.

Saw "The Play That Went Wrong". Very silly, but very, very funny. I pretty much laughed throughout the whole thing.

[Ladygooner]

Bad Jews was very funny - tickets still available for ?15

[Bellenden Belle]

Wink by Phoebe Eclair-Powell at Theatre503 is an extraordinary debut. Really worth a visit - the guardian thought so too :-)

Only just spotted this thread, despite averaging a show a week much of the time. Agree "The Play That Went Wrong" is worth going to if you like Fawlty Towers style humour.

Saw These Trees Are Made of Blood at Southwark Playhouse at the weekend and rated it as possibly the most brilliant show I have ever seen. It is highly emotive, at times very funny, and by the end had both audience and cast in tears. Probably qualifies as a "political musical", it deals with the subject of the disappearance of 30,000 students in Argentina in the late 1970s. Staging is in a Buenos Aries cabaret club with a fantastic band who also act out various roles during the show. Twitter has been buzzing with first viewings and reviews have been great. It is in the smaller theatre so starting to sell out on nights as word gets round. If you are lucky enough to go see it take a large box of tissues - you may need it at the end.

I too saw These Trees are Made of Blood last week, the opening night. The preview was almost unbearably long at just under three hours as the cabaret bit went on almost to the interval- the first half spilling over to an hour and a half.. I am sure they have made some cuts since then! Once the story got going - it was brilliant! I've thought about it quite a lot since seeing it.

[lpool]

Down to 2 hours 20m including the interval.

[Ladygooner]

Went to see Imelda Staunton in Gypsy last night - best musical I have seen in a while. Imelda is amazing and got a standing ovation.

[bawdy-nan]

Carmen Disruption at the Almeida is wonderful.

[Parkdrive]

Sunny Afternoon at the Harold Pinter is great fun.

Philip Bretherton is appearing in Tony''s Last Tape at Bridge House Theatre in Penge. 75 minute one man show with Tony Benn brilliantly portrayed.

[WomblingFree]

Saw Oppenheimer at the Vaudeville last night. Good with the caveat that it?s three hours long including the interval ? would have been better if shorter.

[the-e-dealer]

Try the Benn tapes in Penge.

2nd Gypsy, Imelda Staunton is brilliant in it. Saw Dead of Night at Landor last week and worthy of good reviews it has received. Off to see Carrie at Southwark Playhouse tomorrow - thinking of taking a plastic sheet as told there is a lot of blood splashing around the stage/floor area. Reviews have been excellent.

[Iain]

Saw Communicating Doors last night at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Very entertaining.

[Ladygooner]

Oh good, going to see Communicating Doors tonight. Can I also recommend High Society at the Old Vic - very entertaining!

[lpool]

Saw The Clockmaker's Daughter at The Landor in Clapham at the weekend and thought it was amazing. Press reviews today all agree. Well worth a visit.

[Mick Mac]

East Dulwich needs theatre. If Clapham has one, we deserve one too.

[lpool]

Will be getting 200 purpose built theatre in Peckham in 2016.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Violence and Son upstairs at the Royal Court was intimate, raw and blisteringly good.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Imelda Staunton is on superb form in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Felt a bit long, though.

[PeckhamRose]

Well done on keeping this thread going, finding it even! Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Old Vic. Superb. Got tickets before I even knew who was in the cast. David Haig steals the show.
