Opera Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 9 Mar: Luce, Cosi, Theseus Beefcake
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 2 March 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Luce | Southwark Playhouse | 9 Mar-2 Apr
This well-received play from US-based writer JC Lee has a focus on the fear of home-grown terrorism, but also examines the relationship between adults and their children, asking the question of whether we can ever really know, understand or even trust our offspring (or in this case, adopted loved one). Sounds really interesting, and it’s also got Mel Giedroyc off the telly in it. See this page here for info and to book.
Cosi | King’s Head Theatre | 1 Mar-3 Apr
There’s a bit of a ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ thing going on over there at the King’s Head this month – two productions playing variously differing dates. I haven’t got the time or the brain to work out what the pattern is. Today though, you can definitely see the opera with music by Mozart, but it’s a new adaptation, story-wise. On other days you can see Louis Nowra’s 1992 play concerning a chaotic staging of the piece. See here for the opera and here for the play.
Theseus Beefcake | The Albany | 9-11 Mar
Acclaimed theatre collective Panic Lab bring this interestingly named play to The Albany for just a smattering of dates, so careful you don’t miss your chance to see it. The show “journeys into the dark labyrinth of masculinity, colliding mixed martial arts, death metal, American frat culture, rodeos, pornography and Greek mythology along the way” via a death match between a hero and a minotaur. I am entirely intrigued. See the venue website here for more info.
