Music Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 29 Jan: We Wanted To Be The Sky, Cautionary Kate, Word/Play
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 22 January 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
We Wanted To Be The Sky | New Diorama | 29-30 Jan
A new performance by and about teenagers, created by Camden Youth Theatre, and young-people’s-stuff expert Roisin Feeny, supported a whole bunch of creative and charitable outfits. It’s all about the future, and who is in control of it. “They know it’s on them, the decisions they make now will determine everything. They are completely and utterly responsible and in control. All you have to do it watch”. See this page here for details.
Cautionary Kate | King’s Head Theatre | 29-30 Jan
This is another one of those shows that met with quite a bit of success up in Edinburgh in 2016, garnering a number of complimentary reviews. I’m sure it’s one many can relate to, because it focuses on a woman with a hangover, who shuts herself away with her imaginary friends, leading to a surreal journey into the deepest corners of the titular character’s mind. Expect funnies with a dark lining. See the venue website here.
Word/Play – Alistair McGowan: Erik Satie’s-faction | King’s Place | 29 Jan (pictured)
This is part of the lovely Lucy Parham’s Word/Play strand, but in fact, this is another show that was on at the Fringe last summer, and it’s a perfect fit. Alistair McGowan departs from his usual impressions and plays some of the Satie’s well known piano pieces interspersed with readings from the composer’s articles and poems. Our reviewer really enjoyed it. Book your tickets here.
