Voices From Chernobyl | Jack Studio | 2-13 May
Can’t believe it’s more than thirty years since the disaster at Chernobyl, but it is. And this show offers a moving account of what happened, and the effects it had on those living in the nearby towns and villages. It’s adapted from Nobel Prize winning author Svetlana Alexievich’s book, a compilation of the stories of hundreds of the event’s victims. For more info see this page here.

Tick Tick… Boom! | Park Theatre | 3-27 May
Award winning creative Jonathan Larson’s autobiographical rock musical telling the story of the sacrifices he had to make to make it big in the business of show. On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, he’s questioning his life choices: his girlfriend wants to get married and move from the city, his friends are making a proper living, but he is still waiting on tables to make ends meet while he develops his artistic career. See the venue website here for details.

Octopus | Greenwich Theatre | 2-6 May (pictured)
“Set in a world where how British you are is determined by the state, three women have been called in for interview. Sara looks kind of Asian. Scheherazade kind of Middle Eastern. And Sarah is kind of white and has no idea why she’s here. She also keeps bursting into song.” A dystopian, anarchic comedy – sounds extremely promising, and explores some very relevant contemporary issues. Click here for info.
