On Saturday a group of four of us went into the West End to see a preview of The Dice House . It’s a play inspired by Luke Rhinehart’s book The Dice Man and has a novel pricing option, in that you can opt to roll dice to calculate the price you pay for your ticket (for previews, it was 4 dice, later it will be 6).

The play was funny; more of a farce than we expected. Some of the others had read Luke Rhinehart’s book, and were expecting something deeper and more serious, but I was quite happy with it.

If anyone does decide to go, best not look at the cast pictures in the programme until after the interval, otherwise it’ll give away part of the plot.
