OMG.. That's sounds so thrilling. I am glad you've enjoyed the whole production so much. It's so hard to wait for another 1.5 weeks until I finally can see it for myself and it sounds that the seat aren't bad at all *yeah*. Seeing Hamlet myself on stage for the first time is all the really keeps me going at the moment and your report cheered me up so much. Looking forward to 17/09/2008 :-). Thanks so much for it.

It was absolutely brilliant. My only complaint about the seat was that I couldn't see David's face during the opening wedding scene (because he had his back to me) or during the play-within-the-play (again he had his back to me) - but honestly, it was fantastic! You're really going to enjoy it!

Blast.. I've got the same view then *lol*. I am pretty sure that I am going to enjoy it. I love the play (only read it once yet), I like Patrick and I love David.. So nothing can go wrong *squee*

Indeed not... It was just awesome. The best birthday present a Shakespeare & SF nut could ask for really!

I can imagine that. I am doing myself that favour *lol*. How could I miss that maybe once in a lifetime chance to see him in such a role *yeah*.

Well exactly!! For me it was live Hamlet, plus the RSC, plus David and Patrick - it'd be hard to say how much more brilliant it could have been!

To be honest. It's only Hamlet for me then. I've seen Patrick live twice before and you know that I've seen David ages ago - but I don't count that, because I had no idea who he was then *lol*. Also I saw an RSC play, but it was the youngsters that are travelling around to get some practise. So it's the first time in Stratford, for me the only real one *gg*

Well I meant first time at the RSC in Stratford - I've seen the RSC do Shakespeare live elsewhere.
