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

Declining Solo | Jacksons Lane | 6-7 Jun
“A woman returns to visit her family home and misses the one thing she values most: the father she remembers.” This excellent sounding piece which combines text with choreography, video and specially commissioned music explores themes of friendship and community, the heyday of a man’s life, the passing of time, and ageing. And as well as promising to be fascinating, it’s the work of award winning company Two Destination Language. See this page here for info.

Danny and The Deep Blue Sea | Old Red Lion Theatre | 6-24 Jun
“Two castaways, Danny and Roberta, fight their way to each other in a sea of hardship and cling violently for a chance at the happiness afforded to most but denied to them.”  John Patrick Shanley’s classic play, set in a bar in The Bronx, offers an deeply affecting study of alienation and the power of love. This production had a first, critically praised run at TheatreN16 last year, so great that we have another chance to see it. See the venue website here for information.

Aparna Nancherla | Soho Theatre | 6-10 Jun (pictured)
Rather successful US comedian and writer Apama Nancherla stops in at the Soho Theatre for a few nights, and I think it would be a good idea to see her live before she gets way too famous for us all. You might already have seen her in Aziz Ansari’s ‘Master of None’ and in Judd Apatow’s ‘Love’ on Netflix, and she’s got a plethora of TV credits and inclusions in ‘top comedy’ type lists to recommend her. Head this way for more.
