And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Years Of Sunlight | Theatre503 | 25 Jan-18 Feb
Described as “a haunting cry for those left feeling shipwrecked from their old communities and abandoned by the post-industrial political system”, ‘Years Of Sunlight’ sees central character Paul, haunted by memories of the past, returning to Liverpool’s overspill estate town Skelmersdale to beg his mother to leave.

5 Encounters On A Site Called Craigslist | Camden People’s Theatre | 25-26 Jan
This new solo show sounds interesting, and rather evocative of contemporary times. The play is about Sam, his encounters with people with people on Craigslist (obv) and the fact that he is worried about the way he sabotages all his potential connections with people. Promises to be kinda bleak, but also hilarious. See the venue website here for details.
Phil Mann – Nothingism | Vault Festival | 25-29 Jan (pictured)
Hurrah, Vault Festival is starting and this is my first pick, from surreal character comedian Phil Mann. In this show he deals with ‘nothingism’ – a bad new craze that’s sweeping the nation, and has ruined everything we hold dear, apparently. I think it’s probably about the state of modern society, because let’s face it, everything looks like it’s turning to crap. Only kidding, culture’s still good, not least because of all those Vault Festival shows we have to look forward to. Click here for info.
