This was the first time I saw this play in a theatre although I had seen it in the cinema as an NT Live before. I've seen it at least twice since then and will go every time it tours - it's one of the best things I've ever seen in the theatre - a really good story brilliantly told. There's a lot of innovation in the staging but never at the expense of the human bit of it all. Properly amazing.
