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

George Egg – Anarchist Cook | Soho Theatre | 15-16 Mar (pictured)
You’ve probably heard of this show, but if you haven’t here’s the story: “George Egg spends a lot of time staying in hotels and some years ago, unimpressed with room service, he took matters into his own hands. Whilst performing a mind-bendingly original show of comedy-cum-illustrated-lecture George prepares a three-course meal on the equipment hotels unwittingly provide (iron, kettle, trouser press…), and if you want to, you can taste it at the end.” Who wouldn’t want to see that? Step right this way.

The Voiceless | The Space | 14-25 Mar
This play was created by producing company Skin Deep according to just one rule: there was to be no speech, with the aim of discovering just how complex a story they’d be able to come up with, given the limitations. The result is a very physical story about parenthood, friendship, and staying alive. Click this link here for details.

Safe | New Diorama 15-18 Mar
Participatory arts charity Spare Tyre present this satirical comedy by Pete Lawson, in which a theatre company’s attempts to stage a play take a turn for the absurd when health & safety steps in. It sounds pertinent, as well as funny, asking the question of whether, in our rush to safeguard everyone and everything, we’ve stopped listening to those we’re trying to protect.
