I want to see it, but I can't today I am afraid.
It's rare SFF giving tickets to actual NT performances rather than cinema screenings of their productions.

I was considering going last night to see 13 but after an early start, 2 films and a theatre matinee, I just wanted to go home.

Hope they do some tickets later on in December, but I guess that's wishful thinking as that's their busy period.

It was fun doing the play yesterday and the night before. We had quite a few special visitors last night, but most of the time I had to rely on other people to tell me who they are. We had David Baddiel, Jonathan Ross, Jane Goldman (she was lovely), Andy Nyman, Ewen MacIntosh. Can't really say much more as they've made everyone sign a non-disclosure agreement to be in the cast. Might do a general review of the show next week when I see it myself

13 was easily the best non musical stage production I've seen.


If you have tickets for tonight, go see it!

'13' was very enjoyable.

Cleverly put together use of probs, intertwining character stories and relevant to current times.

Very glad I was able to go and thanks to SFF for facilitating it!

Very happy to get tickets to 13 but I didn't think it was so great. There were a lot of stories and it all felt quite hectic. Some of the strands were unneeded and of little interest. Worthy but wordy.
