Dance & Physical Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 26 Feb: Happiness Is A Cup Of Tea, Scary Shit, The Communist Threat

And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Happiness Is A Cup Of Tea | Vault Festival | 24-28 Feb
Hurrah, another great looking show over at Vault Festival, the home of some really great stuff. Though perhaps I shouldn’t be cheering, really, because this particular play is the kind you can expect to be poignant, dealing as it does with themes of death, grief and loss. That said, it’s also about living, and celebrating and remembering the lives of your loved ones. I think we can expect something thoughtful, powerful and touching. See this page here for info.
Scary Shit | Pleasance Theatre | 26-27 Feb (pictured)
I know I can be a bit puerile, but I promise you I didn’t choose this on account of it’s amusing and mildly provocative title. I chose it because it promises to be “quirky and outrageous”, and I think there are times when dance theatre needs to be just that. Creator Rhiannon Faith (endorsed by the brilliant Bryony Kimmings) offers a brave and moving performance about fear, see the venue website here for more details.
The Communist Threat | Vault Festival | 26-28 Feb
This is a play that we came across in Edinburgh last summer. We loved this noir-style spy thriller, so I was really pleased to see that it was to be part of the Vault Festival. Yes, I am back at the Vault Festival. I would kind of like to move in, really. Anyway, this will, no doubt about it, be excellent. See our review here, for proof, and see this page here to book your tickets.
