And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Sh*t-Faced Showtime | Leicester Square Theatre | 9, 16, 23 Jul
Well, if you’ve already witnessed a Sh*t-faced Shakespeare show then you will know what to expect from this production of ‘The Wizard Of Oz’. Yes, those “professional pissheads” turn their hand to the musical theatre genre, and get one of their cast members riotously drunk for each performance. Get ready to take an unorthodox route along the Yellow Brick Road, see this page here for details.
Comedie De L’Absurde | Theatre 503 | 9 Jul
“Meet Bill, the self-help guru who hates people; and Jennifer, whose super saccharine niceness might hide an alterior agenda. And have you heard about that new initiative they’re rolling out, the Popularity Police?” A play by Jessica King, which aims to “take you on a rollercoaster ride of comedy hilarity, at the same time putting important social issues under the metaphorical microscope.” For more info, see the venue website here.
The Dutch Lady | The Cockpit | 9 Jul
This is apparently a restoration comedy that hasn’t been seen on stage for more than three centuries, and if that’s the case, I’d like to know where it’s been all this time…? Well, it seems it’s been buried in the bowels of Boston public library, in the USA. Anyway, it’s all about the eponymous Dutch woman, who is broke and needs to marry for money, and promises to be a well written and funny piece. Click here for more.
