Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Ah don't. That is depressing before the trip even has the chance to turn out brilliantly.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Congrats.
Unfortunately I can't make it to Andrew's Hamlet. Doesn't fit into my holiday plans.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
OMG!
I am more excited about seeing it now, anyway...my pal has been and describes it as the most intense Hamlet she has ever seen...and we get 4 hours of Andrew!
She is a huge Andrew fan, too.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Wow, Andrew looks amazing. Love the hair and well, pretty much everything about that picture.
To everyone who will be going to see the play: have an amazing evening!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
The reviews read very promising, indeed. The Guardian calls Andrew "a truly sweet prince"... what more can you ask for?

Wow, 4 hours!?

Yeah but unfortunately they gave the play just 3 out of 5 stars.
But you have to see it for yourself, I don't really care about critics or reviews anyway. Quite overrated.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
There actually seem to be two reviews (don't ask me why). This one gives the play five stars:

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
And I'm a little bit angry about myself. Why didn't I think while planning our London trip to see David Tennant with "Don Juan in Soho" on stage? Why didn't I match the dates? Could have worked with both plays because their seasons overlap with each other.
Bugger!
