By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 25 June 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Miniaturists 63 | Arcola Theatre | 2 Jul
The short play experts present their latest collection of works by both new and established playwrights, and this particular selection comes courtesy of writers Kate Webster, Charlie Howitt, Gaia Fenn, David Ralf and Michelle Sewell. I love this format, I love the fact that these guys know that small can be beautiful. See this page here for info.
The Tortoise And The Hare | Greenwich Theatre | 2 Jul
Here’s a nice looking adaptation of the traditional tale for younger children aged 3 and over. Hatty the Hare thinks she’s destined to win the long distance race at the School Sports Day, but Tilly the Tortoise signs up and gives her a run for her money! Interaction, music and games will keep your little ones engaged, click here for details.
And The Rope Still Tugging Her Feet | White Bear Theatre | 2-3 Jul (pictured)
This dark and comical one woman show, created and performed by Caroline Burns Cooke, was inspired by the 1984 Kerry Babies scandal, which raised questions about the treatment of unmarried mothers in Irish society. It’s a piece that won much acclaim when staged at the Brighton and Edinburgh Festivals in 2016, and more recently at Vault. See the venue website here for more.
