Yes I believe, if you have trouble finding it, ask the bartender, they are quite helpful

I know I am just trying to figure out if it's a realistic target to see around 100 shows in a year on top of all my other obligations as theatre performances are more often than not quite a lot longer than movies. But then, I suppose it can't hurt to enter the competition as in the likely chance I do not get picked for the final 4 I don't have to make the decision anyway.

I find it's realistic. However committing to that many that you can't choose is an awful lot, especially if you want to see a few of your own choosing as well.

Also I have problems remembering all of them. You would probably need to keep some notes, on the best ones at least.

And on that note, where is the Old Red Lion theatre? Didn't Raj101 get lost trying to find it last time? Is it really hard to find and out of the way? Thanks guys.

He found the Old Red Lion with no problems, unfortunately his show was at the New Red Lion! The Old Red Lion is really easy to find - very close to Angel tube.

Oh crap, I work near Angel but I booked for the Saturday, and that's a long trip from home *idiot*

Which performance are you going to? - I'm going in the afternoon.

Does the pub have the same name?

Yes, it's the Old Red Lion pub!!!! The entrance to the theatre is via the pub.

I know there were briefly free tickets available for 13 at The National which closes this weekend. But I have some £12 seats in row D of the Olivier Circle for Friday evening and I am planning to return a pair of them to the box office for credit. If anyone who missed the freebies would like to take one or both of these from me for the £12 pa*d then let me know by PM ASAP.

Thanks.

Edit: 1 left.

I don't know if this is the right place to post but I didn't want to create an entirely new topic. I went to see a show the other day called "Slava's Snowshow". Third time I've seen it and I still absolutely loved it. It's a brilliant visual spectacle, very humorous, with some fantastic special effects. I like it so much I wrote a review on my blog for it. Feel free to check it out! And if anyone has seen it before, please tell me!

Interesting review. It's usual to mention where it is showing though!

Just got back from The Importance of Being Earnest. I was afraid not to understand anything, yet there was only one character that really bothered me (the second character played by the blond-haired actress). Otherwise, it was ok, I even had to explain the end to my friend who studied English one more year than me
The place is... unexpected (?) and far too hot, but the play was funny and both male characters charming (not my type though )
For my first play in London, I guess it was a good choice

Passionate review, I enjoyed that. I reckon you can use your blog to talk anything you like, look to sorting your blog entries into categories but perhaps keep your sci fi theme of blogs at the forefront.

Love the banner btw!

Thanks for all your help, Clive! I have a ticket for the evening show but I think I might cancel as I already have to much going on in the next few days. I'll know for sure on Friday.
