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

The Lost Things | Little Angel Theatre | 24-27 Nov
This is a show for children, but only older ones, aged between eight and twelve, because the themes could prove slightly scary: a boy finds himself in a terrifying new world populated by lost things – car keys, wedding rings, dads, and a mysterious girl – and what unfolds is a dark fairy tale about losing things, but also finding things you didn’t know you were looking for. And it’s performed in a special dome, which is intriguing! See this page here for info.

Manpower | Jacksons Lane | 24-25 Nov
This is another one of those ‘Jacksons Five’ that we have mentioned before – a season of shows which are either brand new, or by companies new to the venue. This is a new piece from Total Theatre Award winners Two Destination Language, and it’s a topical and politically complex look at men, expectations, work and economics in the forty years since we voted to join Europe. See the venue website here for details.

A Girl & A Gun | Pleasance Theatre | 24 Nov (pictured)
Created by the very clever Louise Orwin, this is a very interesting and ambitious piece of theatre, which, each night, features a performance by someone who has stepped on stage without knowing what they are going to perform. It’s possibly a bit sweeping to say that it’s about masculinity, violence and the portrayal of women in media, but that’s around the right area. Don’t miss your chance to see it, head this way to book your tickets.
