Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 16 Aug: Oh The Humanity, Bitches, The Telemachy
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 9 August 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Oh The Humanity | The Space | 16-20 Aug
If you know us, you’ll know how much we enjoy short play compilations, and that’s kind of what this is, even if it’s a collection of five pieces from the same author, US playwright Will Eno, with common themes, and – I would hazard a guess – a two person cast. Promises to be witty and playful examination of the hope and uncertainty in our lives. See the venue website here for more info.
Bitches | Finborough Theatre | 16-20 Aug
This is another show from the Finborough’s season of plays by National Youth Theatre, a two person play about a pair of teenage friends who decide to try running a YouTube channel in a bid to make some cash. It’s by an award-winning playwright, Bola Agbaje, and the subject matter sounds promising. Head this way for details.
The Telemachy | Camden People’s Theatre | 16-21 Aug (pictured)
Another pick from the Camden Fringe that we all think sounds like it has quite an intriguing angle on The Odyssey: “The Poet swaggers into London with a case full of ancient stories from his journeys across the world. Your enigmatic host delves into the mythologies of Odysseus, the original rock-and-roll absent father, through the eyes of his son, a brooding Telemachus.” See this page here for more.
