Doing some advance ticket sales and have my eye on both The Young Vic's production of A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE as well as KING CHARLES III - reviews out of London were both outstanding

Neither has opened yet but curious if anyone saw these productions in London and want to make a recommendation

Also on this trip - HAMILTON (so I maybe won't eat for a month) , LAZURUS, DADA WOOF, PAPA HOT and maybe OLD TIMES ( love me some Eve Best)

I welcome your thoughts

The Young Vic production of AVFTB is amazing. The best production of a Miller play I have ever seen. Choose the "on stage seating" for a totally immersive experience.

thanks for your advice...i got on stage seating?  does the lighting blind the folks with on stage seating?

 

also, hang seen quite a few plays at the music box over the years, it dawned on me that it's almost best to sit a few rows back from the stage - thats one high stage.

Count me in the minority that didn't like taking AVFTB back to its Greek tragedy roots.   But Charles III, on the other hand, is wonderful in every way.  Tim Piggott-Smith, as Charles, gives one of the greatest performances you will ever see.

I saw King Charles III in London and while not amazing - it was quite excellent.  I was worried that it might be too British for me, but it wasn't.  Once you put away any idea that the play is about the real Charles, Camilla, WIlliam, Harry and Kate - and settle into the play being a Shakespearean history play - it's a lot of fun.  Tim Pigott-Smith and Lydia Wilson were outstanding.
