Maiden Voices | Theatre N16 | 10-21 Oct
This is a new festival, created by a team of recent Mountview graduates, and promises to feature a line up of nine exciting, original and contemporary feminist theatre pieces from a number of different emerging artists with distinctive styles and voices. See this page here for links to each of the shows.
The End Of Hope | Soho Theatre | 10 Oct-11 Nov (pictured)
“Dermot and Janet are about to have a one night stand. Before sealing the deal, though, Dermot must a) check she agrees that Tony Blair’s a war criminal, b) establish whether she killed her ex-husband, c) Find out why she’s dressed as a giant mouse. By the end of the night, no taboo is left untouched.” This dark new comedy by the very good David Ireland sounds extremely promising, see the venue website here for details.
Jump Out Of Skin | Pleasance Theatre | 10-15 Oct
Another new play, this one from Slovakian writer Zuza Ferenczova, performed by GLYPT’s Progression Company, an initiative that supports young artists into the creative industries. It focuses on a teenager who is pregnant in nasty circumstances, and explores themes of mental health, social isolation, and the experience of being an adolescent. See this page here for info.
