I had seen a collection of Philip Ridley monologues at Southwark Playhouse twice but then the two actors had alternated the pieces they performed and I went twice to see both versions of the show.
This time, as I only booked it a few days previously (after seeing it the first time), I was back in Dress Circle Row G where seat 22 cost me £28.5, which felt a little cheap for a show of this quality.
I did not have anyone exceptionally tall in front of me and the view was absolutely fine. Normally I am in Row A but it was reassuring to learn that the other rows are acceptable when needed.
The richness and cleverness of Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) was such that I enjoyed the second performance even more than the first, and that had been exceptional.
Knowing the structure of the play I was able to concentrate more on both the humour and the drama and the second time around it was both funnier and sadder, in all the right places.
