That is the Juliet Stevenson who was in "Truly,Madly, Deeply" with Alan Rickman, right?!
He will be brilliant as usual. We know what he is capable of.

Ok, spring 2017 will definitely be my first visit to London, then. My favourite actor in one of my favourite plays - PERFECTION!

Another Hamlet, this time with Andrew? Sounds cool. Too bad I probably won't get to see this one, though.
Clueing for looks.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
A relatively small theatre with lots of seats with restricted or partially restricted view... I'd say you have to be quick to get good tickets (once again...). They also have priority booking for members (once again). History repeats itself.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
There is no "urgent need" to go there like to "other events". I am just tempted to try to get tickets without the pressure that I HAVE TO GET them.
If it "happens" it would be nice.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?
