Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Grr, can't remember if I told you all the first part of my saga, but it concluded today!
As soon as I got my Andrew tickets I told my London pal, who informed she had also got tickets for the play PLUS for Andrew's talk...which is happening while I'm in London and so I could have gone, if I'd only known about it in time.
Anyhow she emailed me today to say they'd released more tickets.
I discussed it with my daughter and we decided we couldn't really give up anymore visit time to Sherlock stuff: I have Andrew, Mark, Steven, already...
So I thanked my pal but declined.
She replied immediately to say the tickets had gone on sale at lunchtime and had sold out in a couple of hours, anyway(which I kind of guessed they would)...I didn't see her message until about 4.15!
So the decision was made for me!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
But you do have tickets to the play, right? So at least you'll get to see him perform.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Yes and although I enjoyed his interview in today's Sunday Times(not to mention the yummy pictures!)...it dawned on me afterwards, I'm not actually so bothered about Hamlet that I am desperate to hear him talking about it.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
The play was amazing! Brilliant cast, fantastic staging and just a real pleasure to watch. Andrew Scott is a mesmerising Hamlet and he was really sweet when we met him afterwards. I want to see it again, tempted to try for some day or return tickets!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
I was in 2 minds about stage dooring...I mean after 4 hours of Hamlet?!
Also, I have a dinner date on the evening!
Sorry, I should have clarified that I'm attending a Wednesday matinee!
Though there may not be a stage door, for that reason!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Yesterday Andrew came out like 15-20 minutes or so after we came out and there was maybe ten people waiting in the little roped off queue section they set up out by the front entrance so we weren't waiting long. I'm not sure if he comes out for the matinee shows or not though.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
He's such a darling with his fans and I apologise, I had a childish snigger at you referring to Andrew ' coming out'!

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
Haha!! I didn't realise when I was typing that. 
But yes, he was lovely with everyone and was happy to say hello and pose for photos. After I had a pic with him he offered to do a selfie with me and my sister as well.
My sister drew a picture of him and he said she was incredibly talented and asked what her name was so he could personalise it when he signed it.

Re: Andrew Scott as Hamlet @Almeida Theatre in Spring 2017
I have only just seen this about the talk tickets. I don't know if even to bother, as last time they sold out in a couple of hours!
