Sitting In The Cheap Seats

I was hugely impressed by the Regent’s Park Theatre production of To Kill A Mockingbird when it toured earlier this year, so I was eager to see how they’d approach another modern literary classic. William Golding’s story of children who turn feral when left to govern themselves is a very different beast from Harper Lee’s coming of age tale though…

I’m often asked by friends and workmates why I’m so passionate about theatre and what got me hooked on going to see shows. I normally just turn the question back on them with whatever they are passionate about (live music, football and food are common denominators). Recent events in my home life have led to me thinking back to early theatre memories, going to The Kings in Southsea and The Mayflower in Southampton with my parents… having to send a stamped addressed envelope to the theatre with a cheque for the tickets.

Very exciting news this morning as the Royal Shakespeare Company  announce their spring/summer season for 2016. A special year as it marks the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare himself! Read on below for full details.

I’ve long been a Miss Saigon fan and adored the new production when it opened in London last year, so when I was offered the chance to head back to the gorgeous Prince Edward Theatre and see the new cast in action, I jumped at the chance (thanks TodayTix )!
