Three To See on 7 Sep: Christeene – Trigger, Two Short Plays About Gays, Travesty
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 31 August 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Christeene – Trigger | Soho Theatre | 2-17 Sep (pictured)
Raw, scary-looking, filthy and revolutionary. If you haven’t witnessed Paul Soileau’s genderqueer “drag terrorist” then it’s probably about time you did. Just head straight over to the Soho Theatre website and read all the reviews about this act, which quite clearly speak for themselves. Then book your tickets, obviously.
Two Short Plays About Gays | The Hope Theatre | 6-24 Sep
You know us (well, maybe), we are suckers for short plays, which might be something to do with our limited internet era attention spans. To be fair, we are actually capable of reading books, and stuff. But I digress. Here are two short plays, which, you’ll have deduced, have gay themes. One is a brand new piece, Middle Aged Rent, about a teenager in eighties London, the other is ‘The Diva Drag, “a bitter sweet story of love and (possible) reconciliation”. Click this link for info.
Travesty | New Diorama | 6-10 Aug
Another show direct (probably) from the Edinburgh Fringe for you now, and this is a debut play from award nominated comedian Liam Williams, which had a run at that aforementioned Festival in summer 2016. “This is a play about gender”, runs the blurb, “the ethical dimensions of modern love, and a mandatory sillier third thing to make the thing seem less serious, in this case lemon tart.” Mmm, Lemon Tart.
