And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Stuart Goldsmith – An Hour | Soho Theatre | 21-23 Apr (pictured)
The very excellent Stuart Goldsmith brings this much acclaimed stand up set to the Soho Theatre as part of his first ever proper UK tour, which is rather pleasing, because we are serious fans of the comedian here at TWHQ. He’s an Edinburgh veteran of long standing, and many of our reviewers have fallen for his extremely sharp wit, and of course his rather good and successful podcast series ‘The Comedian’s Comedian’. Go here for all the details.
Elegy | Donmar Warehouse | 21 Apr-18 Jun
This new play from award winning writer Nick Payne (of ‘Constellations’ fame) is set in a near future where medical science has advanced to the point where lives can be significantly extended. This exploration of a world “where the brain is no longer a mystery to us” focuses on three women who have had to choose between love and survival. Sounds intriguing. See the venue website here for all the gen.
The Three Musketeers | The Proud Archivist | 21-24 Apr
This seems ambitious, but I expect it will work out well – four actors playing thirty roles, two hours of swashbucklery, romance and politics, with a healthy dash of restoration comedy. It’s a classic tale , brought to you by a capable young company, Cyphers, so I think you can expect this to be great. See the group’s website here for more info and this page here to book tickets.
