I thought I saw it say London somewhere. In my defence, I did it on my iPhone initially. I can barely see!

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
Went to see Krapp's Last Tape tonight. What a snooze fest. Thankfully it was short. I am afraid I was unintentionally rude to the liveried guy at the entrance door who told me that the Box Office was straight ahead (I hadn't asked him). It was 2 steps away with a huge Box Office sign above it. So I mumbled "Thanks, I think I can just about see that far." It was just so bizarre and I felt like being treated like an idiot although I am sure he was just doing his job.
Oh and the ticket guy was annoying, I asked him about tickets in the middle of the stalls and he gave me tickets for the front row of the Dress Circle! "That's all I have." My foot - the dress circle was basically empty! Stalls weren't all that full either. So we changed seats.
I could have had a really nice sleep if it had been any longer and Michael Gambon hadn't made sudden loud noises now and then. The seats were really creaky too.
I am sure after this Michael Gambon will not eat bananas for a very long time.

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
yeah unbelievable, the guy's eating 4 bananas in 2H... every night?!!!
after 20 minutes I finally remembered I hated Samuel Backett!
I was surprised so many of my neighbours seemed to enjoy it a lot!
