I'm afraid I got a bit over excited when i heard the news. I don't think it will be produced until the summer at the earliest, as most large theatres have their programmes organised up until June/ July. Also it will depend how much time RA has available as to whether it will take place in a number of venues of remain in one, eg the Old Vic. It will be great to see RA playing something raunchy, funny and completely unlike Lucas/John.

It sounds terrific. Wish I was over there to see it. Do you have a idea of the plot/story (if there is one? )
I also wonder how it's going to fit in with his Hobbit commitments. I'd imagine Sir Peter Jackson & Co. will take a while to set up, so maybe it might be earlier than the summer. Then again, they might do some scenes early to avoid the New Zealand (wet) winter (in your summer months). Keep us posted!
