Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread

I went to see The Black Diamond last week and must say it's right up there with the very best of any entertainment art form I've seen. Punchdrunk theatre group is really a class above most other theatre companies.
I have seen some negative feedback about this, but it all depends on whether you like to be passive observer or be immersed in the experience.
If you're prepared for a ride, it's simply jaw droppingly stunning. I won't spoil it for people who might be going soon with details, but it's a fantastic adventure.
Shame it's almost impossible to get tickets for it. 10/10

I had no idea what this was so I had to google it.
I understand why u didn't why u didn't share any details now.
But omfg. I would freak out.
Glad u enjoyed it.

Sorry here's my original post about tickets for the Black Diamond:

It really is just brilliant in every possible way

[claire]

It does sound really good. Just don't think I could handle it. I would be so scared

[superhero]

They would never make any money if it was an actual p*ying production, but that's why it's so great. It's theatre or art just for you, it's so geared towards a personal experience.
I think I had a spiritual moment when the whole thing ended with balloons flying off into the evening skyline.

Went to Flying Brothers Karamazov tonight with friend and her two boys, 6 and 11 and we really enjoyed ourselves. We were sat in the second row behind the lady who was picked to stand in the middle of the flaming torches flying past her nose - she looked terrified but was a very good sport. The theatre was only half full but the crowd were pretty enthusiastic and cast seemed to appreciate it. After the show, the Brothers were outside the theatre to chat with people and to sign autographs. They seemed to be really nice guys.

Oh that was you with the little boys. I was in the same row as you, at the end on your right. Good job I was not in the front two seats in front of me, when the crutches flew off the stage! Where I sat I was sprayed with water, salt, fresh cream, and fizzy drink or was it really champagne?

Heard lots of other young children really enjoying it, and chuckling away. I thought the stall was pretty full, about 90% when I looked round. No one in the upstairs seats, they put everyone in the stalls. The girl they nicknamed "cardboard lady" in front of you dovetail, was picked on all night, and she was very brave to go up and have flaming touches thrown at her!

Great innovative and funny entertainment.

I do wonder if it's a stooge and the same lady for every show. Is she extremely, extremely shy and reluctant to do everything once they pick her out at the beginning? Can't remember what she looked like at my show apart from being quite young, white and I think she had a foreign sounding name. Maybe I'm just being a sceptic.

We had a 'cardboard lady' too, but she was not white, but oriental looking, but she did get picked on through the whole show.

I thought they were very good a interacting with the audience throughout the whole show.

[David]

Ah good, no stooge then. Very brave person standing in that fire!

[Rainey]

Very brave, especially when they said 'when you see the burning torches flying in front of your face, don't flinch and don't step back as they'll be flying right behind you too!'
