Ah don't. That is depressing before the trip even has the chance to turn out brilliantly.

Well I have Mark and Ian to enjoy next month first...I am very fortunate!

Congrats.
Unfortunately I can't make it to Andrew's Hamlet. Doesn't fit into my holiday plans.

Hope you get to see him(or other Sherlockians) at some point!

I got tickets for my sister and I to see Andrew in Hamlet in March, I'm so excited!

I like that Even if I'm not 25 or younger. Great idea.

Love that photo

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.

Wow, love the photo! I'm going on Monday and I'm so looking forward to seeing it. It's got some great reviews!

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!

Thanks Solar, I'll post my verdict next week (though I'm sure I'm going to love it haha)

**Posted by besleybean** March 7, 2017 9:04 pm

I feel the same!

The reviews read very promising, indeed. The Guardian calls Andrew "a truly sweet prince"... what more can you ask for?

**Posted by besleybean** March 8, 2017 5:41 pm

Pleases me!

The Almeida posted some photos on their facebook site a week ago

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.

**Posted by besleybean** March 8, 2017 6:22 pm

Phwoar!

**Posted by SolarSystem** March 8, 2017 7:17 pm

There actually seem to be two reviews (don't ask me why). This one gives the play five stars:

Bob Dylan...yeah!

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!
