And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

That Thing That Came From Over There | Greenwich Theatre | 6-8 Apr (pictured)
The never not-brilliant Gonzo Moose return with a comedy adventure inspired by the horror movies of the 1950s, telling the tale of a hapless Scott and Amundsen contemporary who finds himself on the wrong side of Antarctica witnessing the fall of a meteor from space. Gore and silliness and gruesome deaths follow, as the explorer and his team discover what’s lurking inside the crater. We love this lot. See the venue website here for all the info.

Si Ca Vous Derange Pas? | Jacksons Lane | 6-7 Apr
If you know French, you’ll know what the title means, and for those who don’t, it roughly means “if you don’t mind”. Though if I’m honest, I’m not sure exactly how it relates to the content of the show, which is all about identity. What’s appealing, however, is that it features a collective of acrobats, aerialists and jugglers from eight different countries who trained together Le Lido, a circus school that “searches for what makes each artist unique”.

It Is So Ordered | Pleasance Theatre | 6-16 Apr
“More than half a century after the Harlem Race Riots of 1964, officers put in place to protects citizens are still unjustly persecuting African Americans. It Is So Ordered asks how far have we actually come since those hot July nights?” A very important issue, tackled via a play based on true events, which tells a tragic tale of two men in prison, linked by a lie. Racially motivated imprisonment and prejudice from law enforcement – wrong then, wrong now, yet it continues. See this page here for more.
