HillmanHearts Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Hi, I was planning to go along to this. Looked on-line into to the Festival Fringe Ticket site. They said there was no availability through them on the particular days / times I wanted to go - but to "contact venue direct" as there may be some availability there. I don't know if this is just a general note for various shows where they have sold their allocation. So can anyone tell me if Hearts actually sell tickets for this direct from Tynecastle or not ? If so - I was going to pop along to try for the dates I fancy ! Edited August 8, 2019 by HillmanHearts clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambothump Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Finally got a single ticket for Thursday, was looking for 4 at particular times, hope it comes back in November, there's people I'd like to see this. Brilliant production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Dave Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I was struggling to find any available on the fringe website tonight. However, the link on the club web site takes you to another booking site. Slightly more expensive as booking fees apply but seem to have most dates. here’s the link - https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/events/awoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I really wanted to see it on Sunday night as a friend is in it covering for another performer and she is only doing two days, sods law that's the one that is totally sold out on all sites.

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Saw it again this year and it was even better, maybe it was seeing it at night this time that made it even more poignant .

jimbojambo Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 It was amazing last night but actually felt like the Somme in all the rain which strangely enough added to the experience.

Matthew Le Tissier Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Just back from today’s early show. Absolutely tremendous and a proper emotional rollercoaster the acting is absolutely fantastic and they do the story justice.

Jambothump Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Was there yesterday, (saw it last year also), lot of Hearts people I know, were in Diggers afterwords, (60years old ish)and weren't fully aware of the sacrifice, our club made.. Jack Alexander, with his book, MrCraes Battalion, they have a lot to thank for their excellent production, which they, writers, recognise.

GlynnSnodin4-2 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Thanks for the support everyone. We're really enjoying doing the show this year. It is unlikely we'll do it in November this year and, as it stands, we don't plan to run it in 2020 - so if you are swithering then I would try and get down this year.

DETTY29 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Well went along today and thought it was fantastic. Knowing the story and how it ends, I had my first eye welling up moment about half a dozen notes into the very first scene when the Hearts song was played in a lament dombre style fashion (sorry not musical and correct terminology) on the violin. And by the end a few folk searching for their hankies. Not sure I can articulate enough to give the performance justice, so a professional review instead. https://britishtheatre.com/review-a-war-of-two-halves-tynecastle-football-stadium/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has the potential of a Band of Brothers type mini series which I'd far prefer to a one off blockbuster. However, it would need an American angle or American Hollywood A lister to play Macrae or Briggs roles.

Helzibob Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Saw this tonight for the second year in a row.
