A great-looking show for small ones aged four to eight, based on the book of the same name by Dianne Hofmeyr, and written by acclaimed performer and writer Sabrina Mahfouz. It tells the story of A young giraffe who is sent as a gift from the Pasha of Egypt to the King of France, and explores what it’s like to be different. Click here for more info and to book.
Ramona Tells Jim | Bush Theatre | 20 Sep-21 Oct
“Deep in the Scottish Highlands, Ramona falls for Jimmy’s awkward charm but gets caught in a scandal that will haunt her for years to come. Fast forward fifteen years and Jim, of the shittest village in Scotland, has got a girlfriend and something like a functional life. But Ramona still can’t shake the consequences of that fateful trip. Determined to clear her conscience, she heads back to the Highlands to find that neither her nor Jim’s lives have turned out how they had planned.” This darkly comic play from Bush Theatre Emerging Writers’ Group member and actor Sophie Wu sounds rather promising, head this way to find out more.
Brixton City Festival | Ovalhouse and Brixton | 21-24 Sep
This is one of a series of events to be staged by Ovalhouse in anticipation of their planned move to Brixton in 2020, a weekend of “radical entertainment” of various kinds – music, spoken word, hula-hooping – and it’s all free, and features lots of talented people. See this page here for a full list of everything that’s happening.
