Three To See on 3 Feb: School Play, The HIV Monologues, The Starship Osiris
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 27 January 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
School Play | Southwark Playhouse | 1-25 February
Oooh, this is pertinent and timely: this debut play from Alex MacKeith examines what it means to be a teacher in contemporary Britain, and you know, it’s really not much fun, because the government are mean and keep demanding impossible things of them and pulling the rug from under them. I presume and hope this play will reflect that. See this page here for all the info.
The HIV Monologues | Ace Hotel | 2-19 Feb
“In 2016, two boys go on a date – one of whom has been recently diagnosed, and the other of whom is ignorant of anything to do with HIV.” What follows is an examination of the realities of life for people living with HIV, an exploration of love, life and death. Very promising, see this page here to book your tickets.
The Starship Osiris | Vault Festival | 1-5 Feb (pictured)
If it’s something seriously funny you are after this fine February Friday then look no further than ‘The Starship Osiris’, which one of our reviewers praised as one of the most chortlesome shows at last summer’s Edinburgh Festival, a hugely hilarious sci-fi parody turned chaotic mess (in a good way). “Expect skimpy costumes, pop songs, hilariously poor special effects, and quite a lot of swearing!” Head this way for more.
