Apollo theatre to see
Rain Man. We bought two £16 tickets for seats in the
Balcony. They were so
high up that we had to exit the theatre and enter a staircase leading up from the street! We ended up with a view all the way down through the theatre to the stage:

The play starred
Josh Hartnett as
Charlie (a slick car saleman who - at the start - is only after money) and
Adam Godley as
Raymond (Charlie's autistic older brother).

The story is already a
Hollywood film but this version had been "
reimagined for the stage". It was good. In fact, I'd forgotten how enjoyable theatre plays can be - much more enjoyable than musicals... There were jokes and thought-provoking moments. The interval curtain was pretty cool too:
Summary: I'll certainly be going to "see some plays" more often.
