Theatremonkey Opinion: |
|
Not available. Reports are that this romance between a University Cosmologist
and a Bee Keeper is beautifully crafted, well staged and brilliantly played by
its duo. The drama builds as lives go on, scenes are played over from different
angles, and both humanity and the human condition are apparently explored to
deeply moving effect. For once, the professional reviewers the monkey read
seemed in accord that this is worth seeing IF you can get a ticket... |

Theatre Seat Opinions: |
Please remember that cheaper seats often do not offer the same view /
location quality as top price ones, and that ticket prices are designed to
reflect this difference.
|
| A simple black painted studio room in a space once used as a restaurant.
Seating can be moved around to allow any configuration of stage and audience.
The most common seating arrangement is one simple stand with 5 or 7 benches,
either with a centre aisle or two outside ones. The rake
is good.
Seats are unreserved so the earliest arrival gets first pick. Arrive well
before the show to choose.
Legroom is poor in all seats, worst on the front bench. The only good legroom
seats are any back bench spaces which have the aisle staircase in
front. Protest vigorously any attempt by the ushers to move you for latecomers
to be seated. A bad leg is the best argument.
