STAR Member publishes great new guide to West End Theatres

30 November 2009

For almost ten years, Theatremonkey.com has been one of the leading online communities for West End audiences. Every day, thousands of theatregoers visit the website to get advice and leave comments on the latest shows. Now for the first time, this collective knowledge has been made available in a handy pocket sized guide.

Theatremonkey: A Guide to London's West End has been written by Steve Rich, the man behind the massively popular website. This practical guide will help you find the seats that are worth choosing (as well as which to avoid), the safest places to buy tickets from, and where to find them at bargain prices.

One of the main features of the book are the colour-coded seating plans that highlight where the best places are to sit in every part of each theatre - and any problems that might arise, row-by-row and sometimes even seat-by-seat.

Mark Shenton, theatre critic for the Sunday Express, introduces the guide with an insightful foreword. He describes it as a "treasure trove" of information, which will help the West End live on "as one of London's defining features".

Red Squirrel Publishing MD Henry Dillon said "There simply isn't a more definitive guru than Theatremonkey. If you love the theatre then you'll love this indispensable guide".

The book is published by Red Squirrel Publishing and is available now for £9.99 from all good booksellers.  ON SALE AT AMAZON
