This is just to say that: I saw all three of The Norman Conquests shows in NYC yesterday and they were excellent.

[More:]

When I got home, I realized all the actors did, not counting breaks, over 6 hours of wordy physical comedy in one day. No wonder they all looked exhausted by the end.

(Oh! Also, Jessica Hynes, Daisy from "Spaced" is really really tiny in person.)
Exciting! I'm very behind on my theatre-going. What's the proper order of the plays, again?

They recommend Table Manners, Living Together, and Round And Round The Garden as the ones that make the most sense chronologically. Half the fun is trying to back retcon all the characters' actions once you know what happened in between.

Paying out the extra bucks (you get one play for free, basically) for a package deal was the best, more insane way to see the plays. 11am to 10pm for one long chronology-confused play! How is this not a great way to spend the day?

Seconding exciting! Ooh, you lucky lucky whelk. I missed them in London. I heard a retrospective on the radio the other day, with interviews with the actors from the original 1970s run. It sounds like a fabulous experience.
