Three To See on 22 Feb – What I Learned From Johnny Bevan, Playwrights Beyond Borders, Sarah Kendall

And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
What I Learned From Johnny Bevan | Soho Theatre | 22 Feb-12 March (pictured)
Long long long term TW favourite Luke Wright (seriously, he was about ten years old when we first met him) heads to Soho Theatre for another run of this award winning show. He’s well known for his poetry, of course, but this takes his work in a slightly different direction, as it’s a more theatrical piece, and one which is dramatic, humorous, and political. We spoke to him about it when he first performed it last year, so read the Q&A, and then go to this page here to book your tickets. Or book the tickets first, possibly, you don’t want to miss out.
Playwrights Beyond Borders | Theatre Royal Stratford East | 22-28 Feb
This short season of staged readings of seven plays by writers from transcultural backgrounds begins with ‘Brainpeople’ by José Rivera, which I think sounds incredibly intriguing and I would love to see it. But then there are six other plays in the same strand that sound equally great, and I only wish I could see them all. More info about tonight’s show here, and take a look at the ‘What’s On’ page here for links to the other events.
Sarah Kendall | Soho Theatre | 22-27 Feb
Another long term TW favourite (we even gave her an award), also heading for a run at the Soho Theatre, with her excellent and critically acclaimed show ‘A Day In October’. She is known for her brilliant stand up, but she isn’t just throwing out gags, this is an hour long set with a compelling narrative, about a “disastrous pool party”, and I pretty much guarantee it will leave you in awe of this woman’s talent.
