Three To See on 8 Feb: Futurists, I Need To Vent, This Must Be The Place
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 1 February 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Futurists | Arcola Theatre | 8-11 Feb
“Russia’s revolutionary artists dreamt of tearing up the rulebook and realising a new world. But four years on from the Bolsheviks seizing power, a new rule book is being enforced, and the new world is under threat. Do the Futurists have a future? And if so, what is it?” A rare revival of Dusty Hughes’ 1986 play about artists finding their way in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. See this page here for more.
I Need To Vent | Vault Festival | 8-12 Feb
Back over to the old Vault Festival now for a dark comedy created by and starring Loren O’Brien. Central character Allie returns home after travelling round the world in order to “find herself”, and discovers that everyone has moved on in her absence. She decides to take action, and plonk herself back in the middle of everyone’s lives. Involves black humour and a ventriloquist’s dummy, see the Vault website here for details.
This Must Be The Place | Vault Festival | 8-12 Feb (pictured)
And now we are already there, I think we might stay with Vault Festival for another intriguing looking show from Poleroid Theatre. ‘This Must Be The Place’ is described as “two short ballads about being alive and not”, which deal in themes of migration, missed connections, and living life at the edge of respectability.
