Went to see Step 9 (of 12) on Saturday. It has a vaguely similar set up to Carnage (going to someone's place, finding out what really happened), but this was a lot darker. The main 3 principals all gave standout performances, but this isn't the kind of play you take your child to see. 7/10

Went to see Posh tonight. Incredibly laugh out loud funny. If I have to fault it, it is slightly uneven, the 2nd half becomes quite serious when it starts to build dramatic tension and make a social point. I can definitely see some of the boys in the cast go onto much bigger things on the silver screen. 9/10
They held the after party at the suitably posh Gladstone Library at No2 Horseguards, which looked like something out of a Harry Potter movie.

Has anyone had any trouble picking up the G&R tickets?
I'm going to try for some for Glasgow if they're available. Fingers Crossed!!!

Elvis Costello didn't seem to sing in tune tonight. Just saying.

Well he's never had the best of voices, but yes he was a bit out in places. He is a great songwriter though and It was quite a show! What did you think of Russell Crowe?

I've not heard of any problems collecting tickets for GnR at other locations, have been to many shows/concerts/films and 99% of the time there are no problems, just make sure you are there to collect tickets at the specified time and be aware that GnR always keep the crowd waiting so it is very likely they will start very, very late and finish in the early hours. Good luck getting tickets.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Thanks! Just don't want to be charged £50 a ticket at the box office, not really worth it TBH. :0)

If you have a SFF ticket in your name (sometimes they ask for ID) for the show you want to attend you wouldn't be charged at the box office. The only issue you can have is that there are no more SFF tickets left if you arrive very last minute.

What did he do?
He started off by "fulfilling one of his life's ambitions - singing an Elvis song with Elvis" which was a rousing rendition of 'I'm evil'. Then he got his guitar and did a couple more numbers with EC and the band. He's actually got rather a strong voice.
