Spoken Word Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 18 Nov: The Divided Laing, Finnish Christmas Fair, Claustrophobia
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 11 November 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
The Divided Laing | Arcola Theatre | 18 Nov-12 Dec (pictured)
Patrick Marmion’s play about RD Laing is presented in celebration of the fifty year anniversary of the radical psychiatrist’s founding his experimental asylum at Kingsley Hall in Bromley by Bow. “With his personal life going down the pan and his mental state heading the same way, Ronnie takes an acid trip to the future” – a provocative comedy with a rather surreal synopsis, starring Alan Cox. See this page here for more info and to book.
Finnish Christmas Fair | Finnish Church Rotherhithe | 18-22 Nov
Yes, yes, I know we’ve said on previous occasions that it’s too soon to start Christmas in November. But to be honest, I am coming round to the idea that you really do need to start your present shopping before the start of December, and also, this looks ace. Live music, Finnish food to eat right away, Finnish food to take home, and all manner of other Finnish, gift-appropriate fare – sweets, chocolate, Moomin stuff, home and cookware, and toys. See this page here for more info.
Claustrophobia | The Hope Theatre | 17 Nov-5 Dec
This is one of those plays that I first heard of when covering the Edinburgh Festival, this one back in 2014. Written by successful novelist Jason Hewitt, this minimalist psychological thriller charmed one of our especially discerning reviewers with its great script and compelling performances. For more info about the play, and to book tickets, take a look at this page on the venue website.
