And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
FESTIVAL: Afrovibes Fest | Stratford Circus/Albany Deptford | 14-18 Oct (pictured)
A twice-yearly carnival of South African live (and not-so-live) arts and culture, this latest Afrovibes Fest is spread richly over the realms of photograpy, film, dance (‘Biko’s Quest’), drama (‘Skierlik’), and music. Details and tickets here.
FESTIVAL: London Horror Festival | Etcetera Theatre | 13-31 Oct
So, it’s the most spookiest time of the year, and what festival so apt to celebrate that fact as the Etcetera’s frighteningly brill blood-nanza of theatre and ‘live arts’; which features the all-female Dante/Bard megamix ‘Shakespeare In Hell’, an arch dramatisation of ‘Gentlemen Of Horror’ Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing’s real life and on-cam relationship, haunting one-woman play ‘Greywing House’, and an additional clot of cabaret, magic, and hammer-style silliness. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Blake Mills | Bush Hall | 13 Oct
A thinking (wo)man’s songwriter in the style of Cass McCombs and his oftimes collaborator Fiona Apple, Cali singer Blake Mills lays bare his high n wild new LP ‘Heigh Ho’ for British fans. Details and tickets here.
