点评:Bit of an awkward one here. I wish to be objective, but feeling very frustrated.
Never been to his theatre before, though my family are avid theatre goers- west end, Windsor, Richmond, beck, watermill etc. so buying for the Mill for the first time.
Anyway, booked friday for 3 of us to visit Saturday. Unfortunately my wife and daughter got really ill overnight- food poisoning? Called Saturday to ask if they’d tickets could be transferred to a different date (Wednesday?). Was categorically told no.
Honestly, I could completely understand if it was a sell-out show, but there were loads of tickets available, including in the bottom-end price bracket as mine were. So it’s not as if there weren’t tickets available to sell.
Would it really have been too much to ask to change to another night? Really?
Tried my best to offload the tickets to family or friends- no takers. Couldn’t even give them away.
Anyway, I attended on my own. Lovely theatre. Beautiful grounds. Enjoyed the show (Shear Madness). But at the end of the day, it’s not much fun going to the theatre on your own.
Left a bit of a sour taste- will I return? Well, I’d like to be able to come back with my wife and daughter at some point….but at the moment still feeling a bit frustrated, so maybe not.
PS… £13 for a glass of Sauvignon blanc. Thats just crazy. It’s no wonder so few people go out to pubs these days.
翻译:这种情况有点尴尬。我希望保持客观,但心里实在很沮丧。
我以前从未去过他的剧院,不过我的家人都是戏剧爱好者——我们经常去西区、温莎、里士满、贝克剧院以及 watermill 剧院等,所以这次是第一次为 watermill 剧院购票。
总之,我们预订了周五的票,打算周六三人一起去观看演出。不幸的是,我的妻子和女儿一夜之间就病得很重——应该是食物中毒吧?周六我打电话询问是否可以把票改到另一个日期(比如周三?)。被断然拒绝了。
说实在的,如果演出票真的卖光了我还能够理解,但实际上有很多票可供购买,包括像我买的这种价格较低的票。所以根本不是没有票可卖。
只是换个日期演出,真的要求过分吗?真的吗?
我竭尽全力想把票转给家人或朋友,但没人愿意要。甚至想免费送人都送不出去。
不管怎样,最后我还是独自去看了演出。剧院很不错,周围环境也很优美。很喜欢这场演出(《Shear Madness》)。但说到底,独自一人去剧院其实没什么乐趣。
有点扫兴——我还会再去吗?嗯,我希望以后能带着妻子和女儿一起再来……但目前仍感到有些失望,所以也许不会了。
