And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Tania Edwards – Subject To Change | Bloomsbury Theatre | 17 Oct
Tania Edwards is blooming brilliant – she’s always provoked admiration and great reviews from our team when performing up at the edfringe in summers past – but you may already be aware of that if you’ve seen her performing live, or caught one of her TV or radio appearances. If you’re not aware of her, please get that situation rectified by heading this way to book some tickets for this show.
Mark Thomas – A Show That Gambles On The Future | Leicester Square Theatre | 17-28 Oct
“Few predicted the events of 2016. And even fewer seem to know where we are going. Award winning storyteller, comedian and political satirist Mark Thomas sets out to discover what the future has in store for us by collecting and examining his own predictions and those of his audiences before gambling on their outcome. By making futurologists of us all, he will create a fantastical, hilarious and possibly accurate vision of the world.” You all know how good he is, so why waste time? See the venue website here for all the details.
People Of The Eye | Battersea Arts Centre | 17-19 Oct (pictured)
This production uses speech, sign language and captioning to tell the story of a family with a Deaf child, and in Edinburgh back in 2016 it had a marked impact on one of our team, who described it as a “wonderfully inventive production”. Inspired by real events, it explores the love that binds families together, memory, isolation and finding the joy in difference. Click here for more information.
