Dance & Physical Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 20 Oct: Shooting With Light, Clarion, Police Cops
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 13 October 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Shooting With Light | New Diorama | 20-24 Oct
Acclaimed Total Theatre Award nominees Idle Motion return to the New Diorama with their show about Gerda Taro, front-line photojournalist whose career was unfairly eclipsed by the work of her lover and fellow photographer Robert Capa. You can find out more from this Q&A we did with the company’s Grace Chapman ahead of their spring run of the show. For info on the upcoming performances see this page here.
Clarion | Arcola Theatre | 20 Oct – 4 Nov
This is another show returning to the London stage following a successful run earlier in the year. This award nominated play, back for four weeks only, is a dark comedy by former journo Mark Jagasia, set at “Britain’s worst newspaper”, and dealing with the topics of free speech, nationalism and the state of the British media. More info from the venue website here.
Police Cops | Camden People’s Theatre | 20-22 Oct
That title puts me in mind of ‘Police Squad’, and like the Leslie Neilsen TV show, this is very much a comedy take on the police drama genre, albeit in a completely different style: this clownish take on a high octane blockbuster movie offers highly charged, action packed physical comedy, from a skilful, award winning troupe. See this page here for info and tickets.
