Snakes on a Plane in Hartlepool

Went to see Snakes on a Plane opening night in Hartlepool, a town in the northeast of England. In NY I would have had to buy my tickets online a couple of weeks in advance as soon as they went on sale. People would be in costume, bringing snakes to the screening (really quite fabulous in my imagination.) Maybe doing the cheers and audience participation here: snakeplay.pbwiki.com/script

Also, I would have had to get there at least an hour in advance to get a seat that wasn’t in the front row – lining up before the previous screening let out. There is something to be said for arriving to the theater 4 minutes before the stated time having 12 people in the theater and your pick of seats. Welcome to Hartlepool.
