And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Glue | Ovalhouse | 3-7 Oct (pictured)
Poet, playwright and performer Louise Wallwein presents this comedic live art performance comprising of poetry and dialogue, through which she tells her own story of meeting her birth mother, thirty years after being put up for adoption at the age of nine. An important reflection on the effects of growing up in care, and themes of family and identity, see this page here for info.
Kings | New Diorama | 3-21 Oct
“Bess and Hannah are waiting. Sleeping rough on the streets of London they’re hoping for help to arrive and for life to change, but they’ve been waiting for a long time. Until, that is, they meet Caz, a young woman who’s not content to sit quietly, she’s far more interested in taking what she needs. As Bess and Hannah get drawn further into this new way of thinking they discover a power in their position that opens up a world of change.” This had an acclaimed and award winning run at the Vault Festival earlier in the year, now’s your chance to catch it if you missed it then. Details here.
31 Hours | The Bunker Theatre | 3-28 Oct
A play about four men who have to clean up after rail suicides, which, sounds grim, but it promises to be full of humour and humanity, and to tackle the very troubling issue of the high suicide rate in young men. The title, disturbingly, is a reference to the frequency with which said rail suicides occur – every 31 hours. Click here for more.
