burningsorr0ws What kind of tickets would you…
Hey, I’m not the tallest person ever (5’4.) do you reckon I’ll be okay in the pit seeing as you’ve already seen the show?? xx
Hiya!!! Yes, I think you’ll be absolutely fine in the pit Most of the action takes place on elevated stages above the audience (like i saw people able to lean on the stage’s edge if that makes sense), and as you may have seen, there’s some aerial elements up higher (really don’t wanna spoil too much eek) - so I don’t think height will be too much of an issue at all! And the audience in the pit moves around a fair bit so if any beanstalk tries to stand in front of you, plenty of chances to get around them hahahah ;) I hope this helps but lmk if you have other qs! Xx
What kind of tickets would you recommend? There are so many choices I’m a little lost and the prospect to see her makes me lose my mind so I’m a mess ahahah
hello!!! sorry just saw this haha! we got gallery seats, which were the lowest level and offered a pretty good view (we were on the back row so had to lean forward occasionally to make sure we saw all the cool aerial stuff but really had a pretty unimpeded view)
however, next week we have tickets in the pit (standing tickets) which were cheaper and more ~immersive~ but obviously not to everyone’s tastes to be in the middle of the show - however, having seen it, I am very excited to be in the pit and everyone is saying how fun it is to be in the middle of the action and, without spoilers, part of the party lol
sorry this isn’t very helpful! I think the two we’ve gone for are good shouts, and if money is a factor the pit tickets are even better (we got ours for £15 a pop)
but honestly whichever u go for u will love it, it was a FAB performance and also…. Gwen C!!!!! in the flesh!!!!! ahhh!!!!

we’re not going to say that “if shakespeare characters had tinder” is the greatest slideshow we’ve ever made, but we’re also not going to say that it isn’t. (BECAUSE IT IS.)

I’m still not over NT’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2019) but I also have over 1k hours in Warframe (in-game, not Steam time) so the natural thing for me to do was to give Oberon this slutty robe. If you ever get the chance to watch the 2019 AMND, please do, it’s an absolute gem.

I have literally nothing sensible to say other than thank you to whoever decided to put this man in white shirts for both Twelfth Night and Midsummer Night’s Dream.
