There’s Paul Mason, already on stage, wearing a gas mask around his neck. I’ve just been told off for sitting in the wrong seat #kickingoff pic.twitter.com/aYX11c8mNm

Paul Mason’s play “Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere” – written by and starring the man himself in the main role – will tonight have its final performance at London’s trendy Young Vic Theatre. Guido noticed that, curiously for such a high profile event, there haven’t been any reviews in the papers. Turns out reviewers have been barred from publishing their thoughts until after the run has finished.

I can’t say any more as I’ve just found out reviews are embargoed til Friday (the day after the run ends)

Not sure how you can embargo a journalist from writing a theatre review, but still…

Attendance was also subject to a strict ticket ballot. Some details of the show have, however, emerged:
