The Crows Plucked Your Sinews | The Albany | 28 Jun-14 Jul
“In May 2011 a young Somali woman sits in the dark of a Woolwich council house watching the assassination of Osama Bin Laden unfold on TV. Upstairs her ailing grandmother is talking to ghosts. In August 1913, the British are at war in the Horn of Africa. A woman dervish warrior searches the body of a British Tommy. In the morning the killing will begin”. This one woman show depicting the violence of empire written and directed Hassan Mahamdallie returns to The Albany for another run. See this page here for info.
Judith Lucy and Denise Scott – Disappointments | Soho Theatre | 27 Jun-7 Jul (pictured)
A new and apparently riotous show from renowned and award winning Australian comedians Judith Lucy and Denise Scott. You can expect a quality performance from this duo, but they also promise to make you feel better about your life, or at the very least, learn to embrace your own mediocrity. And you can’t say fairer than that. See the venue website here for more.
House Of America | Jack Studio | 27 Jun-15 Jul
A production of Ed Thomas’ acclaimed 1988 play, which you might remember being on at The Royal Court, if you are old enough, and which was also made into a 1997 film starring Sian Phillips. It’s set in a depressed Welsh mining town and tells the story of a dysfunctional family, recently abandoned by their father, who has gone off to a new life in California.
