Music Theatre ThisWeek In London

By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 May 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
The Pearl Harts et al | The Victoria Dalston | 1 Jun (pictured)
Female friendly promoters Dance Like I’ve Got Diamonds return following their sold-out International Women’s Day Event at The George Tavern earlier this spring with this super woman-dominated line up at The Victoria, headlined by blues-driven rock duo The Pearl Harts, and also featuring post punk types Ghost Car, rocky four piece The Nyx and alternative trio Long Teeth. Fabulous. Click here to book your tickets.
Combustion | Arcola Theatre | 30 May-24 Jun
“Bradford, in the month of Ramadan. Latching on to the latest grooming scandal, racists plan to march through the city. Shaz, a local garage mechanic, desperately tries to keep his business running smoothly so he can save up and settle down. In this combustible atmosphere, his sister Samina is determined to make her voice heard.” Very topical, and from very talented up and coming playwright Asif Khan, see this page here for details.
One Item Only | Ovalhouse | 1-3 Jun
Created and performed by Margarita Sidirokastriti, ‘One Item Only’ is inspired by recent events and follows a boy’s journey across continents in search of a refuge away from his troubled homeland. It takes a look at what is really important to us – asking the question of what we’d take with us if we could only take one item – and offers an eventful and uplifting story, as the hero of the piece makes his way to an optimistic, albeit uncertain, future. See the venue website here for info.
