Children's Shows Spoken Word Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 28 Oct: Iron MAM, Tomcat, Storystock
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 21 October 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Iron M.A.M. | Camden People’s Theatre | 28 Oct
The word-of-mouth on writer and performer Owl Young’s solo show ‘Iron M.A.M.’ is that it’s an excellent piece of work, and not just for fans of ‘Iron Man’. Describing itself as “Caught somewhere between a TED talk and a coming of age action thriller”, it promises to be an engaging and insightful show that juxtaposes the personal with the political and asks some pertinent and reaching questions. More info on the show from right about here.
Tomcat | Southwark Playhouse | 28 Oct-21 Nov
This production boasts an award winning creative team, and while that’s not always a guarantee of quality, it certainly feels like a good start. The play itself, penned by James Rushbrooke, is the winner of Papatango theatre company’s new writing prize, selected from more than 600 entries. Focusing on a future society where disease has been wiped out, it questions how far we might be prepared to go to keep humanity healthy. More info and tickets from the venue website here.
Storystock | Bush Theatre | 28-20 Oct (pictured)
Okay, here’s my latest half term suggestion for all the family. All the many, many events that are taking place at Bush Theatre this week staged by travelling story circus Storystock, comprising all sorts of workshops and storytelling sessions, as well as special appearances from the likes of Chris Riddell, Cerrie Burnell and Judith Kerr. There’s plenty of grown-up content as well as the stuff that’s aimed squarely at the kids. See this page here for all the listings.
