Today in London: Thursday 21 March 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 14 March 2013
Good day to you, and may I ever-so politely present (since it’s Common Courtesy Day) this doily-trimmed array of London’s most genteel cultural profferings…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Bourgeois & Maurice, Dugdale Centre, 21 Mar (pictured)
Okay, so it’s a slight hike (for most, anyway) to reach the Enfield-based Dugdale Centre, but worth it to stare agape at ‘goth-pop’ artistes Georgeois Bourgeois and Maurice Maurice’s sharp-shooting comic/cabaret act. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
Drill:London – Wire:March, The Lexington/Cafe Oto/Heaven, 21-24 Mar
Music literati The Quietus and punk anti-heros Wire co-curate a series of shows, the first of which falls tonight at The Lexington and stars live debutante Malka Spigel and band (as features her husband, Wire’s Colin Newman), psych-pop votaries Charlie Boyer & The Voyeurs, and new Wie guitarist Matt Simms’ non-Wire sideline, It Hugs Back. Latter Wire:March nights will play host to Comanechi, Gazelle Twin and, as a finale, Wire themselves. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S FILM CHOICES
NT Live presents… People, various cinemas, 21 Mar – 6 Apr
As of today, select cinemas will be intermittently screening the National Theatre’s very celebrated new Alan Bennett play ‘People’, the story of aristocratic hoarder Dorothy Stacpoole (acted beautifully by Frances De La Tour). Since that’s nigh on impossible to get into at theatre, why not watch it via ‘the pictures’, and eat popcorn whilst you do it. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
Facade, Jacksons Lane, 21-22 Mar
Paying guests certainly won’t starve for drama nor vittals at the Crashmat Collective’s catered ‘circus theatre experience’, as features a starter, main and dessert, and trapeze-dangling, play-acting wait staff. Details and tickets here.
The Low Road, Royal Court Theatre, 21 Mar – 11 May
Exiting artistic director Dominic Cook directs his RC finale, a “fable of cut-throat capitalism” by ‘Clybourne Park’ provocateur Bruce Norris. As fate has it, Norris’ 2007 play ‘The Pain And The Itch’ was, quite fittingly, the first Cooke faced when taking on the AD title. Details and tickets here.
