Priority booking opened today for James McAvoy's next stage outing and the first of Jamie Lloyd's new season – Cyrano de Bergerac.

Good news is that there are thousands of tickets for first-time theatre visitors, key workers and under 30s.

Bad news if you don't fall into either of those categories, the ticket prices are particularly steep.

I ended up booking restricted view in the upper circle for £32 because anything closer was just too pricey.

The Playhouse has a reputation among regular theatre-goers for bad sightlines which doesn't make the 'cheaper' seats much better value but it is better than nothing and I'm hoping there might be some rush tickets or day seats so I can get a better seat.

Oh and this notice popped up before you buy the tickets, so you have been warned…ahem.

    I’m pretty intrigued as to whether I’d qualify as a key worker. I’m a music therapist who works in schools & earns about 1/3 of what a teacher does… if that…. but I’m self employed through a charity, not employed by the government so I imagine I wouldn’t qualify. And I already know in the current climate that my work in schools is most definitely NOT considered “key”! Sigh. It’d be extremely unlikely I could make it to the specifically designated cheap performance dates in any case! Still, I look forward to the show! I got a £15 upper circle ticket for a matinee!
