Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 26 Oct: Battles, McBlair, Nathan Caton – The Pursuit Of Happiness
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 19 October 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Battles | Battersea Arts Centre | 26-27 Oct
“When is it enough? Enough. Enough. In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day, deep in my mind, in the system, I dream. Battles of the care system.” This caught my browsing eye because it’s being staged as part of National Care Leavers’ Week, which raises awareness of the needs of, the issues affecting, and vulnerabilities of young people leaving care on reaching adulthood. And I think that’s really fricking important. See this page here for booking info.
McBlair | King’s Head Theatre | 23-28 Oct
Yes, I think you know what to expect from the title. It’s 1994, and Macblair and Macbrown meet three weird hacks on a stairwell in the House of Commons. They predict that Macblair will become Leader of the Labour party, then Prime Minister, and, er, King of the World. A tragicomic Shakespearean telling of Tony Blair’s rise to power that’s had a great critical response. Head this way for details.
Nathan Caton – The Pursuit Of Happiness | Soho Theatre | 24-28 Oct (pictured)
You probably all know exactly who Nathan Caton is and quite familiar with all the funnies he’s capable of serving up, so you possibly don’t need my advice about going to see him in action at the Soho Theatre this autumn. But in case you do need a reminder about his upcoming performances, here it is. See the venue website here for more.
