“Wonderful performance, horrible seats”

The performance of Hamlet I saw several years ago was astonishing. The performers were top notch and the acoustics in the theater are fantastic. The seats however, are a nightmare. Tiny and cramped, even for me at the height of 5'9, 160 pounds. It was simply impossible to enjoy a show when all that is on your mind is the... more

You will be guaranteed a fantastic night of theatre if you visit the RSC at the home theatre. Every seat is good and the RSC perform Shakespeare like no one else. If you are used to seeing your local theatre group perform, you will be amazed at the difference. After about 5 minutes you will even forget that they are... more
