Three To See on 8 Dec: Christmas Gothic, Muted, Cymbeline
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 1 December 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Christmas Gothic | ArtsDepot | 8 Dec (pictured)
Oooooh, a slightly scary-sounding pre-Christmas treat for you here, courtesy of the talented Rebecca Vaughan: “Come in from the cold and enter into the Christmas spirit as a dark and spectral woman tells haunting tales of the festive season, lighting a candle to the frailties of human nature and illuminating the cold and chilling depths of the bleak, wintry dark…” Intrigued? Me too. See this page here.
Muted | The Bunker | 7 Dec-7 Jan
This new and highly promising pop-rock musical tells the story of the fate of an exceptionally talented young musician: his band was on the brink of stardom, but then his mother was killed in a hit and run accident, and he fell silent, refusing to say a word. Can he be persuaded to go back to performing? Click this link here for more info.
Cymbeline | The Space | 5-18 Dec
I know it has its detractors, but I like it, and I trust Who Said Theatre to make a good fist of it. Politics, pride and a sinister bet collide with family, lovers and concealed identities in Shakespeare’s most genre-spanning tale – a fabulous antidote to all that Christmassy sparkle and shizzle we’ve been trying to force on you lately. See the venue website here for info.
