    Hey there "Passion Play", saw it a few weeks ago The Duke of York Theatre - starring Zoe Wannamaker, Samantha Bond, Owen Teale (and others you'll recognise, I just can't recall all the names) incredible performances - you would have heard a pin drop, the audience was gripped. Very funny at parts, then not so.............play is about relationships but I don't want to ruin it for you. But I highly recommend it. :)

    Thanks for the reply! Much much appreciated. Never even came across this play when looking through possible shows to go see. Im looking at it now, to be honest I dont think I would b into it. Are there any others you may recommend?

    Les mis is a bit pricey for me unfortunately. Would love to go but can't afford it

    I got cheap tickets at the booth on Leicester Square (years ago, but assume it's still there). You could try for a last minute bargain....

    Would you have any plan B if this doesn't work out

    As far as I recall (and it was a long time ago!) they sell tickets for anything and everything - I'd be very surprised if you couldn't pick up a bargain for SOMETHING.

    So carry on with your research here :D and have a shortlist of stuff you'd like to see, and you're bound to get in to something.

    And if not, well.... go for a nice meal??

    A quick google threw up this site http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/londontheatre/whatson/ - maybe pick a few things that you think might interest you, and ask for reviews/experiences?

    (can you tell I'm back on a proper keyboard this morning :D)

    Best of luck with your research, and I hope you find something wonderful to go and see :D
