Possibly because they had no two seats left next to each other? Only singles left that they wanted to fill.

If that's the case they should've mentioned this and asked if the attendees minded not sitting together. Still, lesson learned for people, don't show up 10 minutes before show start ;)

Actually my mum got there at 14:20pm and managed to get two seats next to each other so I don't think it matters unless the show is very busy or maybe people are printing off duplicate tickets.

I suppose they wanted to have a few performances first to get into the routine of a new location (and possible cast changes) before press night.

Fittingly, the afterparty is at the Langham hotel, who are the official hotel sponsors for The King's Speech.

I went to see the Duchess of Malfi on Saturday and really rated it. It is very tragic (and just a little bit too long) but it was so atmospheric and wonderfully staged, I was absorbed the whole time. I can see why it might be off-putting to some, but the performances are good and I still think it's worth going even if it's not your usual thing.

What I always seem to forget about the Old Vic though is how chilly it gets after a while, so even if it's warm outside, take something to wrap up in for inside!
