Have any of you seen this play yet in it's current run?

My friend is in it and though it got reviews I'd still like to hear what people think of it. I didn't get a chance to see it yet but I will probably go to London again at some point, it had only been out a week or so when I went home. I'm getting insane emails from him about him meeting all sorts of famous people, is this play very trendy currently?

Is this one of those plays by that London Irish cockfarmer bloke, the ones that peddle some antiquated paddywhackery view of Ireland to his trend London mates? what's the guy's name, Martin McDonagh?

I'd chew my left leg off sooner than go see one of his plays.

Disgusted of Dublin.

no plays are trendy currently: theatre = dead (except treasure island obv)

Did the version of Treasure Island have the word "cur" in it Mark?

If not it was rub.

sadly i cd make out very little of the dialogue indeed as only two of the teenytiny actors cd project while doing accents (jim hawkins and dr livesey, neither likely to use the word "cur"): btw ronan in yr version was it all staged as a DREAM of the young and feverish robert louis stevenson?

there was a joke about pirates and whores tho, blimey: the parents and teachers tittered...

No ours was done without the dream thing. Our drama teacher was kind of psychotic and odd, but very very very serious so the plays were always done to quite a high standard, he used to scream "this isn't just a school play, ACT!" sometimes.

I remember I had a few lines which were meant to be really angrily said and he made me fucking scream them, like white hot rage, Squire Trelawney says something beforehand like "what have we to fear but the open sea" and I had to go "YOU SIR! BECAUSE YOU CANNOT HOLD YOUR TONGUE". It was one of those lines that people made you say for the rest of the school year.

viz he thinks it's all totally easy but gives everything away himself and is a plonker then blames the pirates for being lower class scum
