I'm actually off to see MacBeth in a few weeks and that's just with my husband!

Edfringe though is fantastic - and, if you do it properly, cheap! maryomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-25283222743109519292017-05-29T17:02:40.863+01:002017-05-29T17:02:40.863+01:00We are a big theatre going family.

It is however as Nicky said hugely expensive particularly when you add in all the extras on top. Having said that I would rather that than her spend more time in front of a screen so we do place it high on our priority list. We are busy planning a trip to the Edinburgh fringe with our youngest this summer and she is hugely excited at the prospect. Great post and very relevant. #TweensTeensBeyondJo - Mother of Teenagershttp://www.motherofteenagers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-73558106221140482442017-05-26T00:47:31.235+01:002017-05-26T00:47:31.235+01:00I can see that in certain places cost might prove ...I can see that in certain places cost might prove an issue (I'm guessing yours are London prices) but seat prices round here can be as low as £10-15. Perhaps as well, we're lucky in being close to three theatres - Derby Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse and Nottingham Theatre Royal - and able to snatch a quick dinner at home before heading out. Maybe somethings are better living out in the Provinces :)maryomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136329803707061541.post-11460856636829152062017-05-25T14:25:51.925+01:002017-05-25T14:25:51.925+01:00I think partly the problem is cost.

Our last trip was £200 for the 3 of us and we can't do that on a regular basis. I think that is your answer. We try to go to other promotions and take advantage of offers but it's not something that is doable frequently - especially with travel costs and food and drink etc. My daughter fares much better as we have a relative who loves taking her to shows so she has seen far more than we have.
