I was there last night and found the performance most enjoyable. Tonight is sold out but there are still a few tickets left for the last night (tomorrow).

Wish I could go but I'm in Leeds for Ondine. Good luck Bill!

Thanks for drawing attention to this gem of a production Bill; I loved every minute of it and at three hours long that’s pretty amazing. Cast were excellent and really focused and true in all their characters. So much so that I could I could emphasise and identify with each of them, god help me. A bit worrying that. You seem to be cornering the market in wistful older men living in dreams of past happiness, endowering them with a fine pathos and humour. :) :)

.......has made me realise that I should have looked to see if there were any pre-existing threads before posting about this production. Is an administrator able to merge the two threads?

Done.

I also caught Network Theatre's ' Cherry Orchard', and thought it an admirable production of the revered old theatrical classic. Both the production itself and the playng were uniformly excellent and our Bill was outstanding as the confused but loyal old servant Firs - well done that man!
