Les Liasons Dangereuses. Oh my.

Worst in Show

Having opened optimistically on December 12, it was announced this week that the play will end its run on Saturday. "Can I catch it in the last few days?" one ghoulish theatrical type confessed to asking a colleague yesterday. "What, like gonorrhoea, you mean?" came the reply.

Guess what I'm going to see with elise and snow_leopard on Saturday night. The very final performance, it seems. To be fair, reviews haven't been as uniformly bad as this makes out - I think the Guardian critics are just being a bit gleeful, as they never liked it.

[Hmm. Wonder if that means we can - purely hypothetically - kidnap members of the cast afterwards without any of the theatre staff being too concerned about it? :)]

Yes I saw that too!!! Women in corsets, really how bad can it be?
But if it is we can always leave at the interval!

...with some of the women in corsets? ;-)

Erm, I think they may have to appear in the second half!

Good point. But if we're discreet, maybe nobody'll notice. Hell, if sales are poor enough to cause cancellation, maybe we'll be the only people there to notice. :)

Not that I'm obsessed with kidnapping cute thespians or anything, you understand. I'm just trying to keep our options open. :-)

Well I had trouble getting tickets as they were all selling so fast (which is why I was somewhat bemused when they cancelled all the shows), though admittedly maybe not all of them will turn up after the bad reviews!!
It seems you are obsessed with cute thespians in corsets (nothing to do with duranorak I assume ; ) )
