Comedy Dance & Physical Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 23 Feb: James Acaster, The Encounter, Terra
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 16 February 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
James Acaster WIP | The Invisible Dot | 23 Feb (pictured)
We are not the only ones, I am sure, for whom acclaimed comedian James Acaster is a firm favourite, but he certainly has a high hit-rate with the comedy loving members of our writing team – many four and five star reviews. This is a work in progress show, but we don’t care, because everything he does is entertaining. See this page here for all the info and to book.
The Encounter | Barbican | 12 Feb-6 March
You might already have heard about ‘The Encounter’, because it was staged to acclaim at the Edinburgh International Festival last summer, and because it’s already garnered a clutch of glowing reviews from the London critics since it opened at the Barbican last week. It’s a wild tale of a journey into a remote part of the Brazilian rainforest, performed by Simon Burney and featuring ground-breaking sound effects, piped into your ears via headphones. See this page here for more info.
Terra | Print Room at The Coronet | 23 Feb-12 Mar
It’s the world premiere of ‘Terra’, the final part of Print Room’s Artistic Associate Hubert Essakow’s trilogy exploring the elements – water, fire and earth – and it’s accompanied by a specially commissioned new poem from Ben Okri. Plus, the music is courtesy of French composer Jean Michel-Bernard, who has created scores for Martin Scorsese and Michel Gondry. All sounding rather good, isn’t it? Hurry up, at least one performance is sold out already. Info and booking here.
