Joy unparalleled this week, as the National Theatre announced that it's going to pilot a programme to start a select number of performances each week at 6.30pm, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. GET IN. For those of us who start work well before the 9am standard, it’s the best news ever (especially if the shows are, say, 90 minutes straight through. A dream).
Everyone I’ve mentioned this to has been stone-cold delighted. “Ooooh, time for dinner!” they gush. “Early night!” they crow. And it sounds like audiences agree.
