Cabaret Circus Comedy Dance & Physical
Friday 1 August 2014 in London
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 28 July 2014
And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…
COMEDY: Gerardine Coyne’s Party Pieces | Hen & Chickens Theatre | 1 Aug
Praise be to this year’s Camden Fringe for signing on the “stylish and lovely” character comic Gerardine Coyne. One half of The Aspidistras, she strides off on a solo jolly with this, a party bag of skits and silly voices inspired by (and made for) the world’s social misfits. Details and tickets here.
CABARET: Miss Polly Rae – Between the Sheets | London Wonderground | 1 Aug (pictured)
Catlike cabaret starlet Miss Polly Rae, queen of the ‘nu-burlesque’ scene, artfully flaunts her tastes for music, dance, stand-up and circus in ‘Between The Sheets’, an ensemble show featuring a backing cast and zesty-fresh new steps and scripts. Details and tickets here.
DANCE: Mariinsky Ballet – Swan Lake | Royal Opera House | 1-14 Aug
The ROH once again takes advantage of Tchaikovsky’s always-fashionable ‘Swan Lake’ score, flying in Russia’s super-elite Mariinsky Ballety to dance a lyrical spin first staged by the great Konstantin Sergeyev in the great year that was 1950. Details and tickets here.
