Went to see this play yesterday and i had wondered if the reviews had over-hyped how good it was - but they hadn't 
/. It was one of the best "straight" plays I have ever seen - a superb production. Mark Rylance's character had a 35 minute monologue which was amazing, a real acting tour de force, so funny and perfectly delivered. I can see why its transferring straight to Broadway in Sept. I think this play will get lots of awards.
We had booked full price tickets, but there were some £10 day tickets available. If you like thoughtful plays, which are qute wordy (it's written in rhyming couplets) and like to see great acting then I can highly recommend it.
