the spiderling

Hi! Yes they just started from the beginning- they stopped the play just 5 minutes in so they weren't redoing much! All ran smoothly after :) didn't even notice anything was wrong the first time until they stopped it! but when they did it again you could see they'd stopped because the lighting and screen hadn't been turning on when it was supposed to

Overall I loved it, it was genuinely scary and incredibly tense at some parts, the chemistry of the cast was just so immersive that when the story unfolds it is genuinely tragic and heartbreaking. Fran and Tom were just my favourite parts- genuinely can't express how lovely their chemistry was, got me smiling the whole time and laughing at so many parts!! And Tom's transformation from this lovesick swooning boy into absolute rage and sorrow was just... amazing, 10/10. Feel SO lucky I got to see it and not disappointed at all from my high expectations! There's no way anyone can go see that play and not think the cast were incredible. The only thing I can see people criticising is if they came in expecting a classic portrayal of a Romeo and Juliet play... Jamie's Llyod's style of production can be like marmite to some as its so unique and stripped bare. But I love the style like many others because it's modern and for the youth, it makes classic tales feel more real set in the now. And the fact there are no props or sets, it's all JUST the actors acting.... I love that and it really shows their talent.

Will put down thoughts soon!

Oh of course he saw me all the way up at the back of the upper circle and just had to 😅

Yes all ok! I think was just a staging issue- they sorted after 20 minutes and in intermission now! Its amaaaizng so entertaining and scary and ROMANTIC, got me giggling and kicking my feet
