I see there is a Walter Mitty film due to be released soon, should be of interest to a number of people on here.
I go to theatre here and there and the main issue is that the sound is clearly less loud. But you do get a much more respectful audience
Theatres vary a lot too. The national is fantastic. Unlike many im not entranced by the old west end buildings and some are pretty uncomfortable.
Shakespeare at the Globe is one great experience too. Saw Macbeth a few weeks back. Unforgettable. If you have not seen a live shakespear production then do so. It can take a little while to get used to the language but then it flows and is quite riveting
I also like small theatres such as the Orange Tree in Richmond
Alan Bennett... I have been quite a fan and saw Madness of King george at National with Nigel Hawthorne years back. But History Boys was the most overrated garbage. I actively disliked many aspects of the play
