A bit late, but mostly because #Show #40 of #2017 was a bit dull. #QueenAnne which was planned to be an interesting bookend to #MaryStuart, except that Mary Stuart beats the pants off it hands-down. Still, first and probably last visit to @theatreroyalhaymarket - a well-kept #theatre in the West End. #londontheatre

Show #38 of #2017 is the final part of this #Almeida season, #Against starring #BenWhishaw. But it’s three hours and three stars in the press, so this might be a letdown after the sterling two shows before, #Ink and #TheTreatment… #londontheatre #theatre #london

Show #36 of #2017 is #Road @royalcourttheatre , #JimCartwright’s play from the 1980s and while the whole cast are great, @fayemarsay86 was bloody awesome. No idea who she is or where she came from, and this is her stage debut. Poster says she’s in Doctor Who, Game of Thrones and Black Mirror but I’ve never seen any of those and probably never will. Anyway, dodgy accents aside, pretty good show! #londontheatre #london #theatre

And show #33 of #2017 is the second part of #AngelsInAmerica, #Perestroika. Four hours, epic, petered out at the end unsurprisingly, rather limp ending, but a magnificent achievement by the cast and crew, an absolute must-see, and your only chance is probably #NTLive now as long as you can handle seven hours of this. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ out of five. #theatre #londontheatre #london #nationaltheatre

Oh yes. Show #32 of#2017 is the hottest show in town, #AngelsInAmerica part 1: #MillenniumApproaches and it was quite good. Surreal, magnificent. Stellar cast, canny direction and of course, spectacular production. Roll on Part 2. #theatre #london #londontheatre #TonyKushner

Show 31 of #2017 is part 2 of the @almeida_theatre‘s amazing season on the nature of #truth, #Ink. About the 1969 rebirth of The Sun, with #rupertmurdoch in full flow. This place is my favourite #theatre in #London right now and I’m sure that this will be a cracker. #jamesgraham #londontheatre

So, obviously went to see #TheFerryman last night for show 30 of #2017, and as expected, excellent. Not exactly a show to take someone for their birthday, but a complex tale of violence and loss during #TheTroubles #JezButterworth #SamMendes #gielgudtheatre #london #londontheatre #theatre
