View Full Version : The Tempest horribleblob 23-04-2009, 08:08 I went to the Lyceum last night to see The Tempest - it was absolutely stunning. A collaboration between the Royal Shakespeare Company and South African, Baxter Theatre Centre, the visual imagery was captivating and wonderfully relentless. If you think Shakespeare a bit dry, you have 3 days left to be proved wrong. millhouses24 23-04-2009, 13:14 Curse you. I want to go now, but my entertainment spending so far this summer has ensured that I will be spending the winter eating cold baked beans out of a tin and burning books to stay warm. William Shakespeare is the BEST! foxforcefive 23-04-2009, 13:27 I went to the Lyceum last night to see The Tempest - it was absolutely stunning.

Gutted I missed it, my ticket went to waste last night as I couldn't get a sitter at the last minute and was too late to donate it to anyone.:( horribleblob 23-04-2009, 14:37 Curse you.

Been there, done that :hihi: I don't get to the theatre often (or get an evening out full stop) but went last night in a group and the ticket cost under £14 - often costs more than that to see a band or have a meal out. horribleblob 23-04-2009, 14:40 Gutted I missed it, my ticket went to waste last night as I couldn't get a sitter at the last minute and was too late to donate it to anyone.:( If it's any consolation, I know of two other people who were in a similar position and so couldn't make it last night. Pity that theatre tickets aren't transferrable to another night if there are seats available. Dark Moomin 24-04-2009, 07:54 I saw it too (were you with Cathted horribleblob?), it was amazing! I loved what they ahd done with it and thought it worked really well. horribleblob 24-04-2009, 09:02 I've only just discovered your ''Unofficial Theatre Meet'' thread, Dark Moomin. I was with a different group and completely unaware of the SF contingent. I'm now thinking back and trying to work out which lot you were :suspect: Dark Moomin 24-04-2009, 10:36 we were in the rear cirlce, great view! horribleblob 24-04-2009, 15:10 we were in the rear cirlce, great view!
