Mike Leigh’s 2000 years
Tonight should have seen the unveiling of Mike Leigh’s new play however audiences are going to have to wait another two nights to see the new play by Mike Leigh at the National Theatre – because he hasn’t finished it yet!
The 16,000 tickets for the entire run of the play sold out weeks ago, despite the fact no one except the cast and the crew had a clue what it was about. Indeed, it was only at the weekend that the play was publicly given the title 2000 Years.
Famously he devises the script and work. I wish I could be given the leeway of delaying the first night, if my script wasn’t up to scratch yet! But that’s being Leigh. Hope it is good.
