National Theatre's PEOPLE, PLACES & THINGS

Had the chance to see it in London and highly recommend it! Denise Gough is mind-bogglingly brilliant. It is a very intriguing play with a unique tone and it feels like a perfect fit for St. Ann's in the US.

I'll be there next Saturday and I'm very excited.

I will be there tonight and am really looking forward to it!

I saw this last night and think its one of the best things of the fall, perhaps the whole season. Denise Gough is giving an incredible performance and I can see why she won the Olivier for this.

Many people will talk about the staging but the script which is a mix of biting, dark humor and and real raw emotion really worked for me. The staging has some really brilliant moments and fits perfectly at St. Anns.

And again Denise Gough. I'm so glad that she has been able to come over with this show and Angels in America. Its a meaty, role, a part in which she never leaves the stage for 2 and a half hours. She is fantastic and I truly cannot wait to see her in Angels next year. Get yourself to St. Ann's because for $39 you can see a show that is far better than most of what will be on Broadway this fall.

It just extended two weeks

I'm seeing this in a few weeks. First time I've been to St. Ann's in a while. Practical question: about how long does it take to get there from midtown Manhattan, and what's the best public transit route on a Saturday (matinee).

Thanks!

F train to York street is the best. But you have to be careful on the weekends and watch service changes as there's always something changed then. I imagine it would take around 45 minutes from say Bryan Park. It took me exactly 30 minutes from 23rd st. Vinegar Hill house is really good for food before or after!

Thanks to St. Anne's the whole Dumbo area has just grown so much. You can take the F to York, the 2/3 to Clark Street, or the AC to Brooklyn Bridge. There's a ton of little places to walk around and explore, and of course the views of Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge Park are gorgeous.

Never had an issue and I'm 6'2" - they're usually on risers since the seating changes per show, so it's normally fine.

is it wishful thinking that national theatre & st anne's would ever mount this in LA?

Any recommendations on where to sit for this? Should I avoid the first few rows? Which side of the stage is better? Thanks

I sat in the second row and have absolutely zero regrets about it. I feel lucky to have gotten to see Denise Gough act from up that close. I think if you can find a seat on the side of the stage that's the bottom of the seating chart, those might be a little bit better. The other side seemed to be treated a little bit more like the back of the stage in terms of where the actors were facing at times.
