And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Hir | Bush Theatre | 15 Jun-22 Jul
“Isaac gets home from serving in the marines to find war has broken out back home. Fed up with domestic patriarchy, his mother Paige has stopped washing, cleaning and caring for their ailing father, who recently suffered a stroke. Ally to their mother’s new regime is Isaac’s sibling Max. Only last time Isaac checked, Max was Maxine.” A subversive comedy in which masculinity and femininity become weapons with which to defeat the old order, from the very excellent Taylor Mac.

These Trees Are Made Of Blood | Arcola Theatre | 14 Jun-15 Jul (pictured)
Over to Arcola now for an immersive theatrical experience, a political musical cabaret set in the heart of Argentina’s Dirty War. Back following a sold out premiere back in 2015, this re-worked production featuring original live music, magic and movement follows the story of a mother’s quest to challenge the authorities and find her missing daughter.

Groomed | Soho Theatre | 13 Jun-1 Jul
Creator and performer Patrick Sandford tells three extraordinary stories, of a Japanese soldier, the inventor of the saxaphone, and his own past self, as he relives the shocking experience of being abused by a teacher when he was nine years old. This play won much acclaim and three awards at last year’s Brighton Festival, expect something honest, bold, gripping and provocative. See this page here for info.
