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

Physical Justice | Stratford Circus Arts Centre | 15-16 Apr
It’s described as “rebellious dance from London’s most provocative choreographers”, and I am not sure I can sell this any better than that one sentence. Political, cutting edge and thought-provoking, East London Dance’s weekend event includes four separate performances tied together by the poetry of Caleb Femi, as well as workshops and dicussions. See this page here for info and to book tickets.

Darknet | Southwark Playhouse | 14 Apr-7 May
I am a bit intrigued by the dark web and things like data transparency but I never have time to read up on it all. Maybe going to see this show will shed some light on it all for me. Yet even if it didn’t, the play sounds extremely compelling and pretty topical. Plus, it’s from an established team, writer Rose Lewenstein and director Russell Benson.

The Man In The Woman’s Shoes | Tricycle Theatre | 4-23 Apr (pictured)
I’m a bit late with this one, really, and I am quite sure how I missed it. But I did. Still, better late than never. Mikel Murfi’s one man show about a cobbler’s journey to and from work may sound like it’s based on pretty dull subject matter, but the response it’s got has been pretty much universally positive, with critics and audience members throwing out phrases like “tour de force”, “modern classic” and “total magic”. I’d book as soon as humanly possible if I were you. Go here, now.
