Free theatre tickets, 24 August!
nthposition has 10 pairs of tickets for The Emperor Jones ("A shattering piece of theatre" - Guardian; "Paterson Joseph is magnificent" - Independent), by Eugene O'Neill, at the National Theatre, London. The first 10 people who email me (val@nthposition.com) get the tickets (and - apologies for my rudeness! - I ignore the rest). There are £10 tickets if you don't succeed this time, and we'll be offering more tickets in future.
