Three To See on 16 Apr: Lakavu, Ready Or Not, Joe Wells – I Hope I Die Before I Start Voting Conservative
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 9 April 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are
Lakavu | The Hope Theatre | 16-17+23-24 Apr
This monologue charts the story of Simon, a young, gay Australian aid worker whose life is turned upside down when he comes across an orphaned baby girl in Papua New Guinea, and promises a journey of discovery through an unknown territory, interspersed with the telling of local legends. Sounds fab. See this page here for all the info.
Ready Or Not | Arcola Theatre | 11-29 Apr
“Why would a retired teacher take a young Muslim man hostage in her living room?” This political thriller from prize-winning playwright Naylah Ahmed sees an innocent encounter develop into a more dangerous situation, and explores regret, loss, fear and paranoia in the face of a reality distorted by the fashion for ‘alternative facts’. See the venue website here for details.
Joe Wells – I Hope I Die Before I Start Voting Conservative | The Bill Murray | 16 Apr (pictured)
I have to say that I often feel close to death and have never, ever considered actually voting Conservative, and I am also quite old now, so I think there’s probably hope for everyone else too. Anyway, here’s another afternoon treat over at The Bill Murray, this time courtesy of the excellent and politically inclined Joe Wells. Click this link here for more.
