Same at the place I saw the broadcast (saw about 6 people leave during that opening). But there were a lot of people talking afterwards proclaiming their love for it.

I seriously want that lightbulb set to adorn my ceiling.

Saw it last night on NTLIve in Edinburgh. Left after half an hour. Boringggggg. Probably my attention span to blame

£16.90 inc fees, btw. $27. Not bringing theatre to the masses, then.

Yeah, I agree, the recommended age limit was 15 in Sweden.

I'm assuming that since they spent the time/money/effort to record this for broadcast in theatres that soon it should be available on Blu and DVD.

Would be nice to see more video titles such as this released like the movie "REC 2" did....out on HD digital streaming formats like Amazon VoD many months before it was released on physical formats.

That would be great. I noticed there sure seemed to be a lot of chatter and requests for a dvd/blu release on the NTL Twitter and Facebook accounts.

But NTL has been recording and broadcasting their productions for two seasons and I don't know of any of those being released on dvd so far. But it seems like it exists in a physical (downloaded?) form because of how they tend to be on a tape delay. The place I saw it even had it on pause mode up on the screen at the beginning while a person spoke about donations/turn off phones/why they're not showing the Cherry Orchard broadcast.

If they don't then hopefully a dirty (pun intended) bootleg will "RISE" so that "IT LIVES" on.

the tickets for the show were 50 quid each mostly, so I'd say you did alright
