TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Knock2Bag presents… Rich Fulcher, Bar FM, 20 Feb

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
The Great Gatsby, Wilton’s Music Hall, 20 Feb – 23 Mar
The F Scott Fitzgerald novel on all our lips thanks to Baz Luhrman’s looming film adaptation, Wilton’s reprises its roaring hit play circa 2012, redesigning itself as a site-specific 1920s-style speakeasy especially for the occasion. Details and tickets here.
Illusions, Shoreditch Town Hall, 20-23 Feb (pictured)
The cast of Actors’ Touring Company star in this moveable dramatic feast of love, life and deathly trappings, care of Russian playwright Ivan Viripaev. Read our interview with ‘Illusions’ director Ramin Gray right here. Details and tickets here.
A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings, Little Angel Theatre, 20 Feb – 2 Mar
One for mini dreamers (over six years) and seen-it-all elders alike, this. Kneehigh Theatre’s flight-of-fancy is based on a story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and features a “frisky” sky, the sea, and well… that title says it all. Details and tickets here.
