Really enjoyed #londontide National Theatre and particularly Ami Tredrea your performance was perfect.
LONDON TIDE: National Theatre
'setting, staging and universally excellent cast... win out over the lengthy script'
'as a demonstration of how to handle a vast and rambling story with aplomb, this is a surprisingly and entertainingly satisfying'
4* opinion theatremonkey.com/shows/lyttelto…
London Tide at National Theatre is so good! I was a bit uggghh when I saw the running time but I was completely spellbound throughout.
London Tide National Theatre strikes particularly hard for anyone who has London seeped under their skin, the love-hate dynamic laid bare through Dickens and PJ Harvey & Ben Power. Best line belongs to Mr Boffin who reveals what we all secretly know 'London is best when walking.'
Finally got round to seeing London Tide tonight and it was so good! Such a clever use of the stage and lighting bars, rising and falling like waves throughout the songs. I’ve never seen anything like it, it looks amazing! And the songs were great too! National Theatre #LondonTide
How incredible are these stunning portraits of the #LondonTide cast 😍
Beautifully painted by actor and artist, Rufus Gerrard-Wright, AKA Mortimer Lightwood in London Tide.
London Tide is playing in the #LytteltonTheatre until 22 June.
I saw London Tide at National Theatre last night. Really great adaptation of my fave Dickens (of those I’ve read, natch). Some really super ways of staging the Thames. also v cool to see it at a theatre right next to the same lickle stream through my village.
A spine-chilling twist on a Dickens classic! 👀

Saw #LondonTide @nationaltheatre. Top casting by Bryony Jarvis-Taylor including Ami Tredrea Ellie-May Sheridan Jake Wood Jamael Westman 💚 #BLM Tom Mothersdale Crystal Condie Bella MacLean. Bunny Christie’s design is extraordinarily exciting, creating the ebb & flow of the Thames & its dark secrets
...saw it last night and really enjoyed it...Our Mutual Friend captured so well...it's a long book but the essence was there...it's not a musical as such but characters inner feelings are expressed through songs...excellent acting from all! #LondonTide
From the press night of LONDON TIDE at National Theatre Lyttelton. 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars for this terrific ensemble effort londonboxoffice.co.uk/news/post/lond… National Theatre London Box Office #southbank #reviews #drama #musical #theatre
It’s divided the critics but I found this a wonderfully evocative piece. It is, after all, a play with songs not a musical. The staging is extraordinary. The ensemble terrific - and unusually for Dickens the women are everything National Theatre theguardian.com/stage/2024/apr…
Good play i thought - National Theatre This reviewer got the point & feel if the PJ Harvey songs, which many critics didn’t. Bella Maclean(pictured ) was magnificent timeout.com/london/theatre…
