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.
|
Layout:
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.
Legroom:
Poor in almost all seats, in "normal" layout, worst on the front bench
if a barrier is placed in front.
The only good legroom seats (in normal layout) 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...
Choosing Seats in General:
Seats are unreserved so the earliest arrival gets first pick. Arrive
well before the show to choose... and put up a fight for those legroom
seats.
Otherwise, second row front and centre is usually best bet for view, aisle
seats for one leg's comfort. There’s no really poor seats here.
General Hazard Notes:
Legroom.
Getting involved in the action, intentionally or otherwise.
A reader noted “hard seats.”
Changes for the current production:
None.
Reader Comments:
“Auditorium: (Iain). The
usual seats get rather hard after a while."
