Loislane posted her report while she was on the train
OK I am typing this on the train on my Blackberry so apologies for grammar, typos etc!

Stage
Is really impressive, made to look like a library with moving boxes and trunks scattered about.

Costumes
This was one of my favorite things about it! Gillian in period dress! She has 3 beautiful dresses through the play. First a blue gown, then a purple velvet one and finally a black evening gown with a bustier (sp!). Men were wearing suits, nothing important!

Gillian
She was great (duh!). Her character really develops from this seeming airhead to a strong, decisive woman. There are several moments where she has to cry on cue and she was just stunning. At one point she is sitting on the stage while her husband rants and he is the one talking but u can't take ur eyes off her as she just slowly tears up, it's beautiful. Lots of the theatre ppl were really praising her at the interval.
Other actors
All good, kids not used much, nor was Christopher E.

Theatre
I was in row D in the stalls and had a good view, but I went up to the circle and it is more restricted view. Some of the guys up there said they couldn't see all of the stage. It's very small and intimate tho.

Other stuff:
There are posters and programmes for sale at £3 each.
Gillian bowed out of sync with the others at the end and started laughing!
There was not a standing ovation, which I found quite strange on opening night!

Repost on haven if u want as I can't navigate it well on my Blackberry!

Aww happy days. G was V chirpy. looking very sex in the city with blonde curls and a lovely pink coat! Asked her if she'd been nervous and sarcastically she said no nat at all! Mark came to pick her up and drove her away
I heart pen! And gillian but that's a given. Interesting that Mark wasn't there for the first night (I would assume that's the way she wanted it)...or maybe he was and just went to get the car while she did the fan thing.
