Spoken Word Theatre ThisWeek In London

By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 19 January 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Mme Bovary’s Communist After Party | Vault Festival | 26 Jan (pictured)
Hurrah for more shizzle from the Vault Festival, and I reeaaaaaallly want to see this interestingly-monikered piece, which is only on once, so don’t miss your chance. Actor Elena Procopiu explores both her heritage and her relationship with her mother in this play about Ana, whose family came to London as refugees from Romania in the eighties. See this page here for details.
Cholera Street / Ağır Roman | Arcola Theatre | 26-28 Jan
“In the wild and lawless slums of old Istanbul live the residents of Cholera Street. Who knew the well loved mechanic Salih, son of a respectable barber, could land himself in so much trouble?” Something else with an international flavour to it, adapted from Metin Kaçan‘s bestselling novel and subsequent acclaimed film.

Chill Pill | Canada Water Culture Space | 26 Jan
Chill Pill nights have been a regular feature at The Albany in Deptford for some time, but now they’re expanding to appear at Canada Water Culture Space, which seems to me like a development worth marking. If you are a poetry aficionado, then this should definitely be one for your diary, because you can expect an excellent and diverse line up of spoken word from this leading collective. Head this way for info.
