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

Lynn Ruth Miller – Get A Grip | Leicester Square Theatre | 7, 14, 28 Feb (pictured)
If you are a long term (chronic?) reader of our publications, you won’t have escaped exposure to one of our ultimate favourites, Lynn Ruth Miller. This lady is a legend, and we love her, and her shows. People do tend to go on about how old she is (presently 82, I believe) but I’m not sure why that’s even remotely relevant, unless it’s just because all those decades give her lots to talk about. In any case, she is very great, and very much worth taking time out to see. See the venue website here to book your tickets.

Trainspotting | King’s Head Theatre | 3-27 Feb
This is an acclaimed production of the Irvine Welsh novel, which achieved great success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, in particular with these highly glowing reviews from this esteemed publication. It’s not for the faint-hearted though, because it’s an unflinchingly shocking and immersive adaptation of a book and subsequent film which were already rather disturbing. See this page here for more info and to book.

An Elephant In The Garden | Vault Festival | 6-7 Feb
And, we’re back to the Vault Festival, this time to find something to entertain the kids on this dull February day. And here’s the perfect thing, a very promising adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s ‘An Elephant In The Garden’. Expect a beautifully performed piece that will stimulate and provoke the imaginations of a youthful audience.
