I had a great day at the theatre yesterday, and particularly enjoyed seeing Alex Vlahos in Fortune's Fool. I have posted to the Merlin Locations website about it here, if you'd care to read!
Literally just bought myself a ticket for one of the early shows, so hope to be able to write up a report just as soon as I possibly can! :-) Thanks for being interested, in not just the play but my thoughts! :-D
Thanks for the report. I've been wondering about going to see this as I adore Richard McCabe, though I was a bit put off it when I heard Iain Glen had had to drop out. Hope he's OK.
Sorry about the flood delays. I was really lucky not to be hit by them when travelling last week!
Thanks, hon! I'm sure you'd enjoy both Richard and Alex in this - Richard is heaps of OTT fun.
I'm sorry you were looking forward to Iain, and I don't know what to say about that other than that I was well impressed by his understudy. I get the impression that Iain wanted to come back, but his doctor advised him to take a bit more time - which seems to indicate he's on the mend and feeling better, but also perhaps is being a tad reckless... Anyway, it sounds promising, if not for this particular play.
I'm glad you've had good luck with the floods! I hope your good luck continues, if you give this play a try! It's certainly been enough to have me adding Turgenev novels willy nilly to my Goodreads TBR list... :-)
Thank you, hon! As you'll have probably gathered, I'm happy to recommend this play, so I hope very much it lives up to its promise if you do give it a try! :-) In any case, have a wonderful time in London. ♥

I'll be on my own in London in a couple weeks and maybe this play would be something fun to see!
