- then went to the theatre on the Saturday morning after finding out there was a queueing system for returned tckets (what kind of peasant am I )

We waited two and a half a hours, during which time we met several interesting people, including a Canadian woman and a young American guy, and were entertained by four young drama students, as well as Patrick Stewart wandering round, very casually dressed in baseball cap, to get brilliant tickets (though we were in mirror seats in the stalls at opposite sides of the theatre.) The whole performance was superb - David Tennant was absolutely brilliant - Rose you would have paid a fortune to have traded places with me I was sat by an aisle & David Tennant passed within a foot of me several times during the performance

The best thing was...............as I had tried to get the tickets for hubby's birthday, and as I had been unsuccessful I had been reluctant to find out more about the play as I thought it would jinx our chances of getting tickets so when we finally got tickets about half an hour before the start of the performance, (I was still shaking ) I had to quickly ask hubby to give me a brief explanation of the plot, as all I knew was that Hamlet spoke to his Father's ghost

Have just today booked tickets for Romeo & Juliet at the Lowry in Manchester as we loved the performance of Hamlet so much, it absolutely made our few days away especially the fact that we watched a Shakespearean performance actually in Stratford

So glad you eventually got sorted and had a fantastic time , Good things comes to those who wait , my gran used to say , You will enjoy the Lowery , iv'e been many time , i only live a couple of miles away . My hubby has got tickets for my birthday , for The Proms InThe Park , where Russell Watson will be singing and the others , it is based in a park near where i live and it is in the outdoors , i'm relly excited .and it is on my actual birthday so we will make a night of it
