Musicals Opera Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 10 Feb: Growing Pains, The Listening Room, The Depraved Appetite of Tarrare The Freak
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 3 February 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Growing Pains | Battersea Arts Centre | 10-11 Feb
“Carrying the weight of the world in his JD sports bag, a working class lad trades his bag-head mates for a one-way ticket out of Salford.” This spoken word drama featuring original songs had a sell out run and great critical responses at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe, and is now on a UK tour. See this page here for all the info.
The Listening Room | Old Red Lion Theatre | 7 Feb-4 Mar
This is a verbatim piece created by Harriet Madeley that explores life death and justice via real life accounts, the true stories of five people whose lives have been irrevocably changed by a single violent crime. It sounds fascinating. For details and to book see the venue website here.
The Depraved Appetite of Tarrare The Freak | Wilton’s Music Hall | 30 Jan-18 Feb (pictured)
Argh, I thought we had already tipped this and now we are half way through the run! Noooo! But never mind, let’s be a bit glass half full about this, because you can still see it tonight. This “monstrous chamber opera for puppets” tells the story of the titular historical figure who ate all manner of weird rubbish and was always hungry. Click here for more.
