And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
THEATRE: An Audience With Jimmy Savile | Park Theatre | 10 Jun – 11 Jul (pictured)
The world premiere of Jonathan Maitland’s ‘An Audience With Jimmy Savile’, starring Alistair McGowan. Set in 1991, just after Savile received his knighthood, the story examines how he got away with the sexual abuse he was carrying out apparently unnoticed and follows one woman who fought back. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: The Education Of A Lapdancer | Courtyard Theatre | 10-14 Jun
John Cooper’s ‘The Education Of A Lapdancer’ explores the growing ethnic diversity of contemporary London and looks at values and morals in a rapidly changing culture, and the realities of life for those at the frontline in public sector education and those trying to get their first job – what will get a personable young girl from Romania further, a GCSE or a G-String? Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: The Motherfucker With The Hat | National Theatre | 10 Jun – 20 Aug
The Broadway production of Stephen Adly Guirgis’ ‘The Motherfucker With The Hat’ received six Tony nominations. Now it comes to London’s National Theatre, telling the story of Jackie, just out of prison and staying out of trouble. It looks like he’s found a job and he’s together with his high school sweetheart. The only problem is this hat. Details and tickets here.
