Royal Hunt of the Sun: total eclipse, please

We think it's really important that you can see your money up there on the stage; it's even better if you can see other people's money up there. That's what makes the National's £10 Travelex season so fantastic. You pay less than a trip to a West End cinema and you can leave leave in the interval without feeling you haven't made the most of your investment. Here's a great case in point. What you could see on the stage clearly cost the National more than the £10 we paid, but it was still rubbish so out the door at the interval. Now, a word needs to be said about the National's glossy programmes. Good value compared with what you'd get in the West End (and if you don't want to spend the couple of quid, there's a free piece of paper with a cast list on it), but would it really hurt them to put some production pics in there instead of rehearsal pics?
