And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: Roar With Laughter w/ Sean Lock + Ed Byrne + Stewart Lee | Hammersmith Apollo | 17 Oct (pictured)
Sporting a host of not-at-all-naff comics certain to make the most of their limited time slots, this live entertainment benefit in aid of the Zoological Society Of London features the above-named creatures, and also smiley Lucy Porter, DJ Greg Burns, him-with-the-ringlets Seann Walsh, Irishman nonpareil David O’Doherty and Phil ‘The Power’ Nichol. Details and tickets here.
DANCE: Shadows Of War | Sadler’s Wells Theatre | 17-18 Oct
Part of the Birmingham Royal Ballet’s autumnal trip to Sadler’s Wells is this mixed triple-bill of works, all tied by their common theme of conflict. First is Kenneth MacMillan’s Maurice Ravel-scored ‘La Fin du Jour’, an elegy to a decadent 1930s lifestyle lost to WW2. Dame Gillian Lynne’s special recreation of Robert Helpman’s 1940s Glasgow-based ‘Miracle In The Gorbals’ is next; and to close the programme, David Bintley contrasts Scotland’s natural beauty with its bloody history in ‘Flowers Of The Forest’, which is set to scores by Malcolm Arnold and Benjamin Britten. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: Fort G | Battersea Arts Centre | 17-18 Oct
Netherlands-hailing theatre ensemble Gehring & Ketelaars present this play based on two close-knit sisters, whose lives start to drift apart when their father dies. Details and tickets here.
