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

Under Glass | Hackney Showroom | 25-28 Oct
The excellent Clod Ensemble revive their highly regarded promenade performance ‘Under Glass’, which I believe was first performed in around 2009. As you may recall, if you were aware of it first time around, the performers work inside glass containers, portraying characters framed in moments of solitude. See the venue website here for more information and to book.

The Class Project | The Albany | 25 Oct (pictured)
“This is a show about belonging. About tribes and families. It’s about class mobility. And regional identity. And being a Thatcher’s child. It’s about education and ‘making good’ for yourself. And maybe about how that can leave you exiled from the place you started. With nowhere to quite belong. It’s about always being an imposter and trying to remember how to speak in your own voice.” It had an acclaimed run at Edinburgh this summer, and it’s now touring, so here’s your chance to see this fascinating piece from Rebecca Atkinson-Lord.

Princess Charming | Ovalhouse | 24-28 Oct
Now this looks very much like the kind of show all children should get to see at some point, so hurrah, for this and half term. ‘Princess Charming’ offers a much needed exploration of gender stereotypes in what’s described as “fun, questioning and celebratory way”. From the excellent Spun Glass Theatre, who have great previous form for tackling these issues in a marvellously engaging manner. See this page here for details.
