i went last night to see pinters people, starring sally philips, bill bailey and 2 others.

i laughed. a lot. it was really really funny.

i think sally is pregnant. it was very funny. lots of awkward pauses that pinter is famous for.

Oh Fab! Good to hear, I won tickets and I am going on Wednesday!

wahay! i was a bit disappointed that i wasnt wetting myself with laughter in the first half, but after the interval i could hardly control myself.

bill bailey is a master of comedy.

theres a really funny bit when (its in white in case you dont want to spoil it) he is standing in a park in character, holding up ok magazine with his face on!

i nearly wet myself

i bet that would have been unfortunate if you had done!

well yes. i wasnt wearing a nappy in case it ruined the line of my dress...

funny

Excellent i'm off to see this in Wednesday with the lovely Spence. Now i'm getting a tad excited

Hope you have a great time!
The Sunday times gave it a good review last week, and yes, the photo of Sally Phillips did look as if she was pregnant! I really wanted to go to it but my partner booked Spamalot instead!!! LOL Men, I ask you!

oh same here... my husband has booked Spamalot for this saturday, can we give the chaps the tickets to see that and we can got to Pinters People??

I'm hoping it's gonna be good. Have read a couple of not so complimentary reviews, but I always find it's best to make you own minds up

Now that sounds great!!!! Unfortunately, we went to Spamalot on the Saturday just gone!!!
It was quite funny, especially if you know M.P and The Holy Grail well. Though it's not exactly the same, ofcourse. However, when you see it, you will know why the men booked it - plenty of scantily clad dancing girls in it!!! LOL

It all makes sense now..... and there was me thinking he was just humouring (no pun intended) my wish to see MP, now i know the alterior motive...
Re-watching the film tonight to remind myself of all my favourite quotes!

I can see where you're coming from. If you liked the film, you'll probably like the play, but it is different from the film. I likened it to a panto but for adults. They got someone from the audience on stage etc. and a lot of the acting was deliberately hammed up! It was just pure entertainment really, no analysing or anything too taxing for my meagre little brain, perfect for a Saturday night! LOL

Cheers for that. It might be worth giving it a try then. My aim this year is to go to the theatre more often, so I may give that one a go

gosh aren't you all so sophisticated?

Sophisticated??????!!!!! Just because we sometimes go to the theatre?????!!!!!

Sometimes being the operative word in my case. Last time I went to the theatre was May last year

Well at £60 a ticket, £40 on train fares plus the cost of a meal afterwards, I really can't afford to do it too often either!!! Now, if I could, then maybe I could be called sophisticated!!!

RE: my post above - it doesn't happen very often, even though I live close to London, you are right it really is v.expensive!!! I always said that if I moved to London I would go all the time, but at those prices, unlikely!!!

i've never been to the theatre for a proper show (only pantomime, but i was in it, so it didn't count!)

You were in a panto!!!! WOW!!! That really does count!!! I would love to do Am.dram. you lucky thing!!! Unfortunately, I was in a drama comp. at school once, and I completely dried up!!LOL and I only had 1 line!!! Now that is sad!

Oh and forgot to say, as far as not being able to afford to go to the theatre goes, finding a (slightly) older boyf. with a lucrative job can help! Not that I'm the sort of girl who would sponge off a man, oh no, as if. However, if they offer to pay..........!!!

it was actually quite scary, i was a dancer for the chorus of "One Step Closer" by S Club Juniors (it was called Snow White goes Pop!) i had to wear orange
