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

This Place We Know | various locations | 26 Sep-15 Oct
I’m a bit late to this one, but there’s still lots to see, and might be of special interest to those who live near the Bush Theatre, if they haven’t already noticed that it’s happening. This Place We Know comprises a series of specially-commissioned short plays, which are being performed in borrowed spaces all along the (diverse and very long) Uxbridge Road, where the theatre is sited. See this page here for more info.

Acorn | Courtyard Theatre | 4-29 Oct (pictured)
This new play by Maude Dromgoole re-imagines the narrative of two mythical women, Eurydice and Persephone, and uses their stories to analyse the changing roles of women in the modern world. Promises “dark humour with lyricism, fury and wit” as well as an original score. See the venue website here for details.

This Little Life Of Mine | Park Theatre | 4-29 Oct
I picked this because it’s got a very-much-London setting and I thought that would be fun for all you very-much-Londoners. And, given what I have just said, you’ll probably expect themes here you can relate to, and I am pleased to inform you that you are correct – overpriced accommodation, busy lives, over-friendly baristas… and what’s more, it’s a musical, and it’s funny. Hurrah. Head this way to book.
