Much has been made recently of the Theatre Royal Brighton and its 200th anniversary.

However, on March 3 myself and four friends went to see Old Times, starring Neil Pearson.

We had seats in the second circle costing £22 plus a compulsory £1 levy. The play started at 2.30pm.

There was an interval of 20 minutes and it finished at 3.50pm, thus giving an hour's performance.

Hardly good value, I think you would agree. I have complained to the management but to date have received no reply.
