Review of Barbican Theatre

No Leg Room 
Less a review and more a note to future theatre goers. Avoid the seats in the heavens – particularly rows which enter double characters i.e. AA, BB or CC etc. Just saw the brilliant 'Disappearing Number', sadly the only tickets we could get were in row AA which are in a seriously vertiginous position, with no leg room. I can't believe these seats weren't an afterthought. I'm used to old London theatres designed for 5' 2'' midgets, but these seats took it to a new level. If you're over 5' invest in seats closer to the stage.

Review of Royal Court Theatre

Stunning Little Theatre
Took the chance to see the Pain and the Itch that one my friends has worked on as Assistant Director at the weekend.
The show we saw was excellent - great acting, sharp satire and lots of dark undertones which is always good.
I'd always assumed the Royal Court Theatre to be a large, stuffy/tacky West End style theatre with no leg room which last underwent a refurb in 1982, so I was very surprised to find the Royal Court to be a rather beautifully restored space.
Larger than the Donmar or Almedia, but retaining an intimate feel, the Royal Court also boasts a great cafe/bar. I'll definitely go back.
