Not a play, but my wife and I went to the The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to see The Marriage of Figaro last week. Magical!!

Both opera newbies we were completely bowled over by the whole experience. To be repeated when I have saved enough pennies!

Last Friday got the chance to see 'The Dolls House' at The Duke of york theatre. Brilliant acting, a bit slow to start with but it did give you a good understanding of each character. Highly recommended.

Rather sad to see this on their website, we were due to see the show in Dorking next month.

A sign of the times?

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Radio Theatre Company deeply regret to announce the immediate cancellation of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy Radio Show 2013 Tour. Tonight's performance at The Hawth, Crawley and tomorrow's at the Watford Colosseum will not take place, nor will any of the remaining scheduled shows in October and November.  Ticket holders are being contacted and should contact venues for refunds.

Although a well-loved show, Hitchhiker's Live has been subject to the same extreme economic pressures as many productions touring the UK this autumn. Ticket sales across the board have been lower than average and we have not escaped this trend. A difficult financial environment for such a large and technical show means that covering operating costs has become impossible. As a result in the last 24 hours we have had no option but make the extremely hard and painful decision to stop the tour.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and share the extreme disappointment and frustration felt by many who were looking forward to seeing the show. we sincerely hope that it can be brought back in the future.

Script is a bit too long in my view, acting is good and the music excellent.

Hysteria at the Hampstead Theatre with Anthony Sher. Excellent.
