What do people think of the theatre? If you go do you only do the West End/mainstream productions, or is the fringe your thing? Does there need to be 'name' attached, or will you take risks? Is it a medium which should be taken seriously, or an anachronism in today's CGI world?
Well? |

Went to see Chatroom/Citizenship at the National Theatre on Tuesday and cannot recommend the shows highly enough. Whatsonstage have an offer for £15 tickets but the cheapest seats are £10 and the theatre is so small you have a great view anyway.
