Ivanov - 7 October
250 Theatregoers joined us for this sell out event to see Kenneth Branagh in Chekhov’s Ivanov at the Wyndham’s Theatre as part of the Donmar’s West End Season, which will also feature Judi Dench in Yukio Mishima’s Madame de Sade, Jude Law in Hamlet, and a production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night starring Derek Jacobi. We will be hosting an Outing to Twelfth Night on 6 January which is currently booking very fast so to secure your tickets, click here.
Our Theatergoers were all treated to a free programme when they arrived, which was a good job, as we had a fantastic cast turn out for our post-show Q&A, including, Linda Broughton, Tom Hiddleston, Sylvestra Le Touzel, Lucy Briers and Whatsonstage.com Outing veterans Malcolm Sinclair, Andrea Riseborough and Gina McKee. As a last minute surprise we were also thrilled to be joined by the Donmar’s artistic director and director of this production, Michael Grandage. They were all happy to talk about what life as part of the Donmar team is like, their feelings about West End seat prices, and their involvement with this production. We also had some excellent questions from the audience and would like to thank all those who contributed.
Highlights of the Q&A will be posted in the news section of the website shortly.
Despite a busy start to the evening as all 250 Theatregoers arrived to pick up their tickets, the Outing was a great success, with a brilliant production followed by an enlightening Q&A hosted by Whatsonstage.com Editorial Director Terri Paddock.
