john5698 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Went to see this on Saturday night, was a very emotional experience. The production, the use of the stadium and the acting were fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambothump Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It's not a stage show, moving about the stadium as it does, filming it would be difficult to capture the whole experience of a quite wonderful production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlynnSnodin4-2 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It's notoriously difficult to capture a theatrical performance on camera. However, it is something we will look into and if the show runs again next year, we'll try to do it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
151 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Got tickets to see this on Friday night, glad it's been extended as we have been in Benalmadena for 23 nights. Home tonight so gives me something to look forward to. My partners lecturer at College is the director and we both can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the frustration of not being able to attend but I really don't get (in general) the thing with recording stage shows or other live performances - whether it's theatre or music concert. By making a recording when it's running, you're missing out on some of the flavour of the performance and when watching it back, there's a huge amount you miss. I can't imagine that any recording, audio or AV, of this fine performance would do it justice. Afraid it's one where you really have to be there. The story's familiar - and can be read up on - but the performance is very special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a touch of genius to have it played out throughout Tynecastle. It might not be as it was 100 years ago but, for me, the echoing emptiness of the stadium added to the poignancy.

Jambothump Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I'd heard whispers the show was going to come back in November for a limited time. I'd urge people who have not seen it, get in early, to get a ticket, as I'm pretty sure demand will be even greater this time around, and it sold out during the festival. Well written, well produced, well directed, well performed (better than just actors), show all round. I'd like a couple of tickets to see it again, but honestly believe, priority should be given to those, who did not see it, first time around. Hearts contribution, was not about the glorification of war, it is about the sadness, loss and stupidity of that war in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambothump Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Jack Alexander, should have a special mention, his book MrCraes Battalion, is probably one of the best researched and written books, of ordinary working class people of that time. That's what footballers mostly were, yer mates, who could play a bit, but still needed a steady job at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just bought tickets for this for my fathers birthday. My mother can walk with a stick, but she also has one of these little mobility scooters, as she can’t walk far, or stand long. Does anybody know if she would be better with the scooter, or will she have to walk round. I’ve know idea how much walking is involved in this.

Boba might be better placed to tell you but the walk takes you in the main entrance to the main stand, up the stairs to the director's box area (sure there's a lift there). From there, you go round the walkway/concourse to the Wheatfield side, down stairs to the dressing room. From there, through the tunnel to pitchside and then steps all the way back up to the concourse. Along to the end; down more steps and end up in the remembrance garden. I don't know where there's lifts around the ground but I'd guess a mix of scooter round the concourse and stick for the steps might help. You could give her a backy up the steps, surely? There's seating/sitting in all parts except one bit on the Wheatfield concourse - where the scooter would come in handy and not be in the way. Don't know that I could do it on Remembrance Day; I'd be a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LodgeHearts832 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 A number of our members saw it during the Festival run. Absolutely superbly put together and acted in such an appropriate manner.
