Three To See on 9 Dec: Luv, The 2016 RVT Panto: Prince Bendover In Boots, Holy Presents
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 2 December 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Luv | Park Theatre | 8 Dec – 7 Jan
Murray Schisgal’s award winning 1964 Broadway debut ‘Luv’ gets a Christmastide airing over at the Park Theatre this month, so if you are in the mood to laugh, get on over there. Described as “a riotous celebration of the absurd lengths we go to when struck down with the terrible affliction known as ‘love’”, which I suspect the vast majority will be able to relate to. See this page here for all the info.
The 2016 RVT Panto: Prince Bendover In Boots | various dates to 5 Jan
Well, a few days ago we told you to go and see the Royal Vauxhall Tavern’s 2015 pantomime (it’s being staged again at The Cockpit, we weren’t suggesting that you go back in time) and then realised that we hadn’t talked about this year’s panto, which is daft. Of course, what this means is that you could very well see two RVT pantos in the space of a week if you follow our instructions, and that would be a beautiful thing. See the venue website here for details.
Holy Presents | Camden People’s Theatre | 6-17 Dec (pictured)
“Joy to the world, in heaven Jesus’ iphone 6S is ringing, the Holy Ghost is on the loo and God’s lost his glasses. Sweaty stilton, too much port and a turkey that’s drier than Joseph’s flip-flop; it’s just another family Christmas in the household of its holy originators.” I recommended this self-same show around this time last year, but it’s brilliant, so I am doing it again. So there. Lovely. Follow this link here and you won’t be able to resist.
