Three To See on 14 Oct: Letters To Windsor House, Songs For The End Of The World, Roll Over Atlantic
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 7 October 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Letters To Windsor House | Camden People’s Theatre | 14-17 Oct (pictured)
The latest show from the very excellent and TW Editors’ Award winning Sh!t Theatre sees Louise Mothersole and Rebecca Biscuit exploiting a loophole in the Postal Services Act that says you can open other people’s mail under certain circumstances, to create a show that offers stories, song, dodgy landlords, detective work, and their take on the housing crisis. See this page here for more info.
Songs For The End Of The World | Battersea Arts Centre | 13-15 Oct
I love the sound of this, which seems to be something of a mixture of concert and theatre from musician and theatre maker Dom Coyote and his band The Bloodmoneys. It’s set in a near-future dystopia in which the citizens of the world are expecting an apocalypse. When it comes, astronaut Jim Walters is left suspended in orbit, broadcasting his songs for the end of the world, hoping someone might hear. For details, see this link here.
Roll Over Atlantic | Royal Festival Hall | 14-16 Oct
Brilliant Afro-Guyanese poet John Agard performs this one man show about Christopher Columbus, the imperialist era he set in motion, and its impact on future generations. Expect something funny, lyrical, musical and satirical from this Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry winner. Head this way for more info.
