Today in London: Wednesday 31 July 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 July 2013
Culturally parched and in need of a little mid-week refreshment? TW London has exactly the taste-tingling arts ticket/s to quench that thirst…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Celia Pacquola – Delayed, Soho Theatre, 31 Jul – 3 Aug
Australian ex-pat Pacquola explains the negatives (leaving friends and family) and less-negatives (realising squirrels are real, learning what ‘bellend’ means) of English living, asking if she was brave or silly to move in the first place. Both, I’d say. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
Nite Jewel, Servant Jazz Quarters, 31 Jul
LA synthsmith Ramona Gonzalez, alter alias Nite Jewel, slinks in to make this ‘intimate’, NTS Radio-arranged playdate at Dalston’s small, dark and gold-painted Servant Jazz Quarters. Play a Chairlift remix of NJ’s dance track ‘One Second Of Love’ via this link because… just because. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
Biped’s Monitor, Nunhead Cemetery, 31 Jul – 4 Aug (pictured)
Daring dramatists Arbonauts mastermind this site-based take on writer Italo Calvino’s arborial parable ‘The Baron In The Trees’, transforming the Nunhead’s abandoned chapel and foliage into an ethereal night garden with an operatic score. Details and tickets here.
Liolà, National Theatre, 31 Jul – 6 Nov
The great and wise Richard Eyre directs an all-Irish cast and gypsy backing band in Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello’s ‘Liolà’. Based in Sicily circa 1916, it depicts its titular ‘lad’ and the rippling effects his high-spirited hi jinx have on his family. Details and tickets here.
