And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

The Taming Of The Shrew | The Cockpit | 23-27 Jan
Not your conservative production of ‘The Taming Of The Shrew’, this (though to be fair, they rarely are these days), set at the height of rave culture, 1989. it’s kind-of back by popular demand, having completed a sell out run at Camden Fringe in 2016 and achieved some very positive responses, so you can expect a quality experience. Head this way for all the info.

Chris Gethard – Career Suicide | Soho Theatre | 23 Jan-4 Feb
US based comedian actor and writer made quite the splash with this show up at the Edinburgh Festival this summer, so don’t be deterred by that downbeat title. Even though it does actually focus on suicide, depression and alcoholism. Really, though, our totally discerning reviewer gave this four stars, and recommends it for everyone. So no hesitations, click here.

Only Bones | Soho Theatre | 23 Jan-4 Feb (pictured)
And on at the same venue, but a complete contrast, ‘Only Bones’ is part of that almost sickeningly frequently TW-tipped London International Mime Festival. The show is described as micro-physical theatre, and sees Lecoq trained practitioner Thomas Monckton performing in a space just one metre square. It’s had highly successful runs elsewhere, Edfringe included, so make sure it’s on your list. See the venue website here for details.
