Children's Shows Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 28 Apr: Hardy Animal, Our Last Supper, Bed Time
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 21 April 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Hardy Animal | Battersea Arts Centre | 28-29 Apr (pictured)
Today is official A Nation’s Theatre day. All three of today’s Three To Sees are on as part of the festival. And I am starting with this, ‘Hardy Animal’, a text and movement based piece from Laura Dannequin which examines chronic pain, the human body and its failings, telling the story of a dancer’s descent into immobility. Sounds pretty poignant… but rather reflective of life. See this page here for info.
Our Last Supper | Southbank Centre | 28 Apr-3 May
This looks really interesting, the revival of an interactive piece by Reckless Sleepers. It’s based on the final words of “history’s famous and not-so-famous”, and audience members sit at tables and are assigned seat and case numbers. Thirteen audience members (of a possible thirty nine) receive the final meal requests of death row inmates. Much food for thought, I imagine. See the venue website here for details.
Bed Time | Polka Theatre | 27 Apr-3 May
And finally, one for your pre-schoolers. This is, let’s face it, an ace idea for a show, because it will encourage them to think of bed time as a fun thing – so what’s not to love? Adventure theatre promise to “celebrate this very special time of day with songs, storytelling, silliness and maybe even a pillow fight!” Follow this link here for more info.
