Three To See on 29 May: Much Ado About Puffin, Matt Winning – Filibuster, 102
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 22 May 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped. LDN-based events are…
Much Ado About Puffin | Greenwich Theatre | 29 May
This sounds like a nice family show, delivered via the medium of song, puppetry and storytelling. Set on a small island in the middle of the sea, this show tells the tale of the meeting of a man and the titular puffin, and muses on the ideas of old habits, new friendships and what it means to step out into the unknown.

Matt Winning – Filibuster | The Bill Murray | 29 May
Lots of Edinburgh previews around at the moment, and yes, this be one of them, from edfringe veteran and TW favourite, the excellently excellent Matt Winning. This show, not unlike his last show, has a bit of a focus on the old global warming issue. And he is a proper environmental economist at the UCL Energy Institute and UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources who knows all about these issues so you’re not just getting entertained here, you’re getting quality information with which, I’m hoping, you’ll be more likely to be able to silence those pesky climate change sceptics. See the interview we did with him last summer, here, and find details on this show here.
102 | The Space | 29 May-3 Jun
“I would just love to have a night, where we don’t have to worry about taking care of children. No fighting, no arguing. Just a night where we can play some of our favourite songs and eat some sushi… Can you do that for me?” A couple hold a dinner party with friends and things get tense as the night goes on, in this piece inspired by and exploring domestic abuse and domestic violence. Sounds fairly raw – adult, shocking content – see this page here for more.
