Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 31 Mar: Kitchener + Waterloo, Custody, The Lottery Of Love
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 24 March 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Kitchener + Waterloo | Camden People’s Theatre | 31 Mar-1 Apr
You may remember that just last week we recommended Haley McGee’s really excellent show ‘I’m Doing This For You’, because we’ve seen it and know what we’re talking about. Here’s another show from the same performer, and although we haven’t seen it, we feel pretty sure that it will be brilliant, based on her previous form. It’s about her hometown, her relationship with it, and hometowns in general. See this page here for all the info.
Custody | Ovalhouse | 28 Mar-8 Apr
This sounds excellent and deals with an incredibly important subject – the frequent deaths of young black men whilst in police custody. This timely show, created by Urbain Hayo and written by Tom Wainright, tells the story of one such victim, exploring the waves of community-wide shock that his demise provokes, the impact on his family, and the pursuit of justice.

The Lottery Of Love | Orange Tree Theatre | 30 Mar-13 May (pictured)
“Sylvia has a dilemma: how does a woman get to know the man she’s engaged to? Disguising herself as her own maid is certainly one way to do it.” Pierre de Marivaux’s 1730 play ‘Le Jeu de l’amour et du hasard’, translated by John Fowles and set in regency England, sees a couple whose marriage has been arranged negotiating the intricacies of love and working out how to achieve true happiness. See the venue website here for more.
