Dance & Physical Musicals Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 15 Nov: Leviathan, Princess, Genesis
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 8 November 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Leviathan | The Place | 15-16 Nov
It looks as though today’s theme is one word show names, though I didn’t especially intend it. It probably deserves to be a theme, though, short, punchy titles are good, and not because it means less typing for me. Anyway, first brief moniker-bearer of the day is this acclaimed physical piece ‘Leviathan’, James Wilton Dance’s take on the tale of ‘Moby Dick’. See this page here for details.
Princess | LOST Theatre | 15-19 Nov (pictured)
I’m sure you know all about this show already because you’ll have perused our Q&A with its creator Stuart Saint, and if you haven’t, because of that life or death emergency that came between you and the reading of said article, you can find it right here. I really, really want to see this, and I feel sure you will also. It’s “inspired by our twisted relationship with the ‘princess’, shattering the illusion of happily-ever-afters, banishing the story book fairy tale and finding the feminism in Disney”. See the venue website here for info and to book.
Genesis | Soho Theatre | 15-19 Nov
This play was developed in collaboration with Manchester based charity Prevent Breast Cancer, and it looks at the idea of identifying gene mutations that increase the risk of certain diseases, exploring the idea of whether predicting illness is a positive thing, and ultimately, whether it’s always desirable to know what’s coming.
