Waiting for Godot

Please someone come with me please please please please?

(I just checked, tickets in the stalls are now £51.00. Good grief! But still! Ian McKellen! Jean Luc Pickard! Samuel Beckett...)

I'd love to go but I can't.

I'm waiting for Godot.

Actually, I might be able to, although that price is eye-watering.

When and where is it on?

If I send you my bra, will you throw it at Patrick Stewart?

Geoff said...

£51?

Can't we just give some booze to a couple of tramps to read the script at Waterloo?

It's on at the Haymarket, from April. Actually I only checked the first date, and the stalls were sold out, maybe cheaper seats are still available later on? I will have a look.

BiB, that would be very entertaining. But might get me chucked out, so I will never know if Godot turns up or not...

Geoff, I bet old Sam would have approved of that more.

Annie said...

Er, not the stalls - the dress circle. If that's cheaper. I'm not a regular theatre goer.

Billy said...

I just had a look at their website, there are cheaper tickets available at later dates, the gallery seats for example are only £17, but there is probably a reason for that.

It's not as if they'll be spending vast sums on the scenery, is it?

I'd love to but alas you're in London.

It featured in the Gate a few years ago and was absolutely brilliant.I would love to see it with Ian Mckellen.

Tempting. But 51 quid is a bit steep and I'm skinty skint mcskintobob until payday. Which is still over a week to go. Ketchup sarnies all round...

Annie said...

The upper circle is thirty three fifty (plus booking fee) if anyone is up for that. I don't think there's any point in booking the Gallery as all you can see is teeny tiny little stick figures who might as well be on the TV. Pah, the theatre, in the cinema a tenner buys you the best seat in the house. Anyway, if you'd really really like to go email me because I could book seats and you could pay after payday... or even later because it's on til the end of June.

Annie said...

Lottie, I wish you could come too. I love Beckett but I've never seen one of his plays in the theatre yet.

He doesn't turn up.
