点评:First time watching a screening here .
We arrived to be greeted by security guards on the doors - I have never seen this at other local and regional theatres that I go to. Not a criticism.
The bar area is nice with lovely friendly staff. There is also a drinks stand nearby. There is free water to help yourself too as well.
At first glance the cinema - screen 2 - is quite impressive. Then you sit down. The fancy folding chairs are not very comfortable. Theres not much cushion and they move quite a bit - so if someone moves a few seats along you feel the chair move. If the person in the row behind uncrossed their legs you feel the movement, etc. Repeatedly. Not the usual comfy cinema chairs one is used to these days. I also disliked the green light coming from behind - I know its a safety thing but the green exit signs seemed very bright, from behind, and a little distracting.
I actually bought the tickets by mistake, thinking it was the touring version of the show rather than the filmed version (which I would not have bothered with). The website clearly states their no refund policy, and sure enough I was not allowed a refund after I explained my mistake as soon as I realised. Fair enough, but if silly mistakes cannot be accommodated I will just go elsewhere from now on, theres plenty of choice locally.
I know the show well, so enjoyed it, though I had expected the sound to be better. I don't know if that was the recording or the sound system.
Theres lots of parking locally. I would try the car park further round that has side access to the theatre first - but that does fill up early. Theres a pretty ropey multi storey and a large open air car park at Hartham Common round the corner.
翻译:第一次在这里看电影。
我们到达时,门口就有保安迎接——我去过的其他本地和地区影院从未见过这种情况。这并非我的批评。
酒吧区很不错,工作人员非常友好。附近还有一个饮料摊。还有免费的饮用水可以自取。
乍一看,2号影厅的电影院令人印象深刻。然后你坐了下来。那些花哨的折叠椅不太舒服。没有多少坐垫,而且会移动——所以如果有人移动几个座位,你就会感觉到椅子在移动。如果后排的人放下交叉的双腿,你也会感觉到椅子在移动,等等。反复出现这种情况。这可不是现在人们习惯的那种舒适的电影椅。我也不喜欢从后面照来的绿灯——我知道这是为了安全起见,但从后面照来的绿色出口标志看起来太亮了,有点让人分心。
我其实买错票了,以为是巡演版而不是录影版(我本来不会买录影版的)。官网上明明写着不退款,我一发现就解释,结果也没退款。这话也对,但如果这些愚蠢的错误无法容忍,以后我还是去别的地方吧,本地有很多选择。
我很熟悉这场演出,所以很喜欢,虽然我本来以为音效会更好。不知道是录音的问题还是音响系统的问题。
本地有很多停车位。我会先试试更远一点的停车场,那里有通往剧院的侧门——但那里很容易就停满了。拐角处的哈瑟姆公园(Hartham Common)有一个相当破旧的多层停车场和一个大型露天停车场。
