Briefly considered it, but decided I didn't want to spoil the special connection with the characters through the discovery of the spoken words.  When you read something, it is with your own internal voice.  If you hear it spoken by someone else, on re-reads you hear it with their voice.  I want to make sure my internal voice doesn't override that of the actors.  Does that make sense?

I'll read it after I've seen it. I did the same with The Body of an American. Reading it after helped me relive the experience of watching the play and meant I didn't come to it with any preconceptions.

Good plan Rosie..that seems to be the usul way to go. having read the reviews about it being super high concept, I wondered if people may gave a different approach to this play?

  I did seriously consider buying a copy to read, but decided not to......for all of the reasons which whimsy and rosie have both given.  And - dont ask me to explain why - but I'd really like to buy my copy on the day......

I think I've read enough in the reviews to gain an understanding of the concepts Stoppard is exploring but I think a good read of the play text afterwards will really help to crystalise (is that the word I'm looking for?) my opinions as I think it will all go past in a blur when I'm watching.

I always buy a script of plays that make me ponder and want to ponder some more.... I never read first though, but try and read soon after I've seen the play for the first time so I get the pauses, accents and what the stage directions are etc.... I have at least 16 now...
