Absolutely brilliant.

Took 13 year old and 11 year old.

Both laughed and laughed (I don't remember Merchant being funny)

Set in New York, Wall Street, mobiles, apple Macs blue tooth.

Sorry Beety, I know I am out of it, but what does SOA stand for? I did Merchant for O level and really liked it.

Stratford on Avon

Oh God, mega

I was so hoping it wasn't going to stand for something cultural!

so difficult to get tickets for RSC though even though live locally

I remember when I was 10 you could go round all the local Shakespeare attractions for free if you had a local address.
My friend & I used to go round Anne Hatheways cottage with the American tourists

you need to get on the early booking system. We used ot stand through endless performances as teenagers.

Tim Supples Dream is meant to be briliant and is not sold out

Am sad that as DD is only 4 months old I will have to miss out on this. And to think that I called her Jessica partly because this is one of my favourite plays.

Beetrootccio · 29/03/2007 09:28

am sure there will be manuy more.

when your dd is old enough there will be a brand new rst for you to take her to
