swisstone has already expressed interest, and I'm certainly keen to go. Previous experience suggests it's likely to be pretty damned impressive. Is anyone else interested, and if so, which dates would be best for you?
In conversation about it,swisstone and I were gravitating towards Saturday 15th, which could of course mean either the matinee or the evening performance. I've already promised swisstone (and K if she'd like to come too?) my sofa-bed if required, I'm afraid, but then again if we went to the afternoon performance, it could be slotted fairly easily into a day-trip from almost anywhere in England anyway.
Let me know if you're interested! I'm quite happy to handle ticket-booking, etc.
