And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…
MUSIC: Woman’s Hour | Village Underground | 23 Sep
Having recently released their first LP ‘Conversations’, a stylised synth-pop vision in shades of blue and grey, young London-band Woman’s Hour bring it softly to light in their biggest LDN headline show to date. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: Flowers Of The Forest | Jermyn Street Theatre | 23 Sep – 18 Oct
‘I Am A Camera’ playwright John Van Druten’s First World War-time love story plays at Jermyn Street Theatre in an 80th anniversary staging directed by Antony Biggs. ‘Flowers… stars actress Sophie Ward as Naomi, a woman whose pleasantly staid married life is jolted by a visit from her disapproving sister, who brings with her reminders of Naomi’s past love affair. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: [CANCELLED] Third World Bunfight – Exhibit B | The Vaults | 23-27 Sep (pictured)
Still in town following a radical adaptation of Verdi’s ‘Macbeth’ at the Barbican last week, South African stage master Brett Bailey and company dig down into The Vaults to build a stark and haunting installation critiquing 19th/20th century ‘human zoos’, which put Africans on show like museum curiosities. The idea is translated here into twelve still-life tableaux, each featuring motionless actors recreating colonial atrocities committed in Africa, as well as Western notions of racial supremacy and the present-day plight of immigrants. Details and tickets here.
