The National Theatre

We went to a play at the National Theatre on the South Bank of the River Thames. We had inexpensive seats which meant we were on the second to the last row. However, the view was great! This is a more modern theatre and the seats were spacious, comfortable, and with good leg room. We were there early so the theatre is empty but about 5 minutes prior to the start, it fills up fast. The play was "A Matter of Life or Death". It was great. The next night we went to "Little Shop of Horrors" where things were nearly the opposite. We sat in the front row of a very old, small theatre with cramped seats. Since we took front row seats, we had to look nearly straight up at times, and we got 1/2 price on the tickets. But we could see every expression of the actors. I kind of felt like I was in the orchestra pit.
