<p>We are going with DS on Sunday. I would have loved to see the play but the movie seems to be right up our alley! </p>
<p>Has anyone seen it on the stage or in the theatre?</p>
<p>Have not seen it myself, but several relatives and friends have seen the play and loved it.</p>
<p>We recently saw the play in New York, and it was great. It’ll be interesting to see the difference between the play and the film.</p>
<p>We saw it in NYC too and enjoyed it very much–British TV has also been showing extracts from the film–should be good!</p>
<p>I saw the theater production in NYC. The acting was good for all of the actors. The set design was sparce (actually it was ugly). Some of the actors were difficult to hear even though I had good seats. The story line diverted for little reason. It starts with male students trying to get into college but turns to focusing opinions on how difficult it is to be homosexual. I thought the play was a waste of money, but the audience loved it.</p>
<p>Saw it in NYC and loved the show. It’s a beautifully written, funny, and highly intelligent play, which looks at British society in the 80’s, adolescence, education, and the diverse teaching methods of two teachers who are guiding a group of boys towards their college decisions. The cast was uniformly excellent and the show won top awards in both London and New York. Alan Bennett is a brilliant playwright and he’s written the screenplay so I’m looking forward to the movie. :)</p>
