Comedy Dance & Physical Film
Sunday 27 April 2014 in London
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 21 April 2014
You’ll get some comedy, some dance and a rather fine film-music combo experience out of today’s ThisWeek recommendations…
COMEDY: Miles Jupp – Fibber In The Heat, The Hob (Forest Hill), 27 Apr (pictured) Miles Jupp panders to an ultra-small crowd in the back-room of a pub, mostly in order to drink in some Dutch courage for the filming of his new DVD, ‘Fibber In The Heat’. The show, since you ask, is about Jupp’s ill-thought-out 2006 bid to ‘blag it’ as a cricket journalist in India. Details and tickets here.
DANCE: MurleyDance – The Object Of My Affection, Shaw Theatre, 27 Apr Carrying the banner-title ‘The Object Of My Affection’, MurleyDance’s springtime repertoire finds the company’s AD, David (Murley), creating ‘Seated’, a new piece based, quite literally, on things we sit on, and our relationship to those things. Also part of the programme are Anthony Kurt-Gabel’s Baudelaire-inspired ‘A Woman Passing By’; Kurt-Gabel’s imagining of two strangers catching sight of each other, and realising they’ll never talk; and Chappell’s ‘Into Decay’, which looks at the sentimental significance we place on inanimate things. Details and tickets here.
FILM/MUSIC: 65daysofstatic + Silent Running, Village Underground, 27 Apr Titans-of-noise 65daysofstatic apply a ton of dark post-rock artistry to enviro-sci-fi film ‘Silent Running’, accompanying this showing of the 1973 movie with an alternate score of their own creation. Details and tickets here.
