Not really sure this qualifies for this section but we went to see "She stoops to conquer" at the Lighthouse in Wolverhampton last evening.
The play by Oliver Goldsmith was filmed live at the National Theatre and then broadcast as it happens to a number of venues. I understand that this happens quite often but this was the first time we had attended such a showing: we will be going back, especially for Timon of Athens which is on the 1st Nov (my favourite Shakespeare play). The tickets, at £12 a head, compare well with tickets for the National Theatre (Tickets for £10 were available last year for quite a few performances). The only thing I feel we lost by not being actually at the theatre itself, was the "live" feeling as whilst the screening was live, it did feel like it was on film. (Not sure I have explained that very well).
The play itself was well acted and very funny, although the story line has been done a hundred times since the play was written in 1773. The fact that it starred two well known actors (Steve Pemberton and Katherine Kelly) did not distract from some fine performances by Harry Hadden-Paton and David Fynn.
