I went too with my oh and two friends, and we got great seats in the stalls. I couldn't understand well what some of the actors were saying due to the strong accents, especially the lead actress (who according to my English friend had a mixture of West Indies and Irish accent). I enjoyed the play, but I don't think my friends liked it that much.ejwrank wrote:I went to see The Playboy of the Western World at The Old Vic tonight. We had great stalls seats but I found it
so difficult to understand the strong Irish accents -- quite impenetrable to our ears. Great staging and excellent set but overall we felt disappointed.
That said -- still very happy that prettyxcool found a non-VIP code so we could spend an evening in the theatre so many thanks to her! We were also given a voucher for a free programme by someone (critic maybe?) who happened to have a spare so we lucked out all round.
Oh, the guy who plays Arthur in the series Camelot was sitting 3 rows in front of me.
