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

Rice Paper Tales | Deptford Lounge | 10 + 17 Sep (pictured)
This children’s show offers what sound like a nice alternative to the standard fairy tales that we’re all steeped in, and a glimpse into Vietnamese culture. The performance, which consists of traditional Vietnamese folk tales, is inspired by story teller Tiet Van Nguyen, and promises to be funny and captivating. See this page here for more info, and this page here to book.

Home Chat | Finborough Theatre |30 Aug-24 Sep
This one’s been in cold storage for a quite serious amount of time, by the sound of it (first UK production in nearly ninety years, apparently) and I can’t quite fathom why, because it sounds great. It’s got very contemporary themes – it’s a no-doubt witty comedy comedy about female sexuality and fidelity – and it’s by Noel Coward. What could possibly go wrong? See the venue website here for more info.

The Rose Unfolds – Salon Season | The Rose Playhouse | 6-18 Sep
Argh, this another thing that was on my list of things to recommend that somehow got forgotten (see yesterday’s tips if you are curious) and now you’ll have missed loads. But better late than never. If you haven’t come across it already it’s a a festival celebrating pioneering woman playwrights of the restoration 1660 – 1720, and consists of a number of staged readings of rarely performed works. You’ve still got time to see three of them, have a look at this page here.
