And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

Garrett Millerick – The Dreams Stuff Is Made From | Back Yard Bar | 1 May (pictured)
We love Garret Millerick and his angry, ranty style, so I have no qualms about recommending this particular show, even though in the show blurb, someone has added a wrong and unnecessary apostrophe to a quotation from our publication ThreeWeeks. Anyway, the content of the set sounds typical of Millerick, and very promising: “stories from the grand canyon that sits between our dreams and our achievements. Things you didn’t realise were annoying, analysed in detail that you never thought was necessary”. Yet again, I am sold. If you are, go here.

Might Never Happen | King’s Head Theatre | 1-16 May
A new play from all-female outfit Doll’s Eye Theatre, inspired by the research of Dr. Fiona Vera-Gray and Dr. Maria Garner, which explores aspects of street harassment. I’m of the opinion that we really need to talk more about this issue and the effect it has on people’s lives, so I’ll be interested to see what this piece has to say. Complemented by two post-show events. See the venue website here for info.

You Must Be The One To Bury Me | New Diorama | 1-2 May
“As Richard’s grasp on reality crumbles, the fantasies, memories and monsters of his recent relationship materialise in his flat around him, subjecting him to an onslaught of romantic terrorism”. This is on as part of the much previously mentioned A Nation’s Theatre Festival, and it’s only on for two days, so be careful you don’t miss it. It focuses on a fact that I have long been fascinated by – how memory is so inconsistent; that we are capable of remembering events entirely differently to how they actually happened.
