Three To See on 19 Feb: Goose – Kablamo, Cyrano De Bergerac, The Wondercrump World Of Roald Dahl
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 12 February 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Goose – Kablamo | Soho Theatre | 18-20 Feb (pictured)
I’m kinda one day late for this, but that’s because I didn’t find out it was on in time to make it a pick for yesterday. But no matter! You have two nights left to see this excellent show. Goose is the moniker chosen by the partnership made up of Adam Drake and Ben Rowse; the latter writes and directs, the former writes and performs, and the result is pretty magical and five-star-inducing – see this review here for proof. See the venue website here to book.
Cyrano De Bergerac | Southwark Playhouse | 18 Feb-19 March
The staging of a classic text, but with a bit of a twist – an entirely female cast. The lead role is taken by Olivier award-winner Kathryn Hunter, who is supported by the likes of ‘Game Of Thrones’ alumnus Ellie Kendrick. There’s also an acclaimed creative team behind it, so I think we can expect good things from this production. See this page here for more info and to book.
The Wondercrump World Of Roald Dahl | Southbank Centre | 10 Feb-3 Jul
This one’s on forever (well, until the summer at least) but as it’s half term, you might want to take older kids along to this exhibition this week to help alleviate any early to midweek moments of boredom. An exhibition about the life of the acclaimed writer, it promises to be “magical and interactive” – see this page here for booking info and more details.
