War & Peace

And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…

COMEDY: Carly Smallman – Made In Penge | Kings Place | 14 Sep
Appearing by the grace of this year’s Kings Place Festival, Ms Penge herself, née Carly Smallman, presents a happy 60 minutes of jokes, love songs (with a twist) and laughs. Details here.

COMEDY: Pappy’s Flatshare Slamdown + Do The Right Thing | The Phoenix, Cavendish Square | 14 Sep
The irrepressibly sketchy Pappy’s team knocks heads with rival panel game ‘Do The Right Thing’, with Adam Buxton and Joel Dommett as the night’s inept guest flatmates, whilst Katherine Ryan and Mike Wozniak aim to free themselves of tricky dilemmas in ‘DTRT’. Tickets are available for either show, or as a ‘combi’ package giving access to both. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: War And Peace – Gaza | Rich Mix | 14 Sep
Marking the launch of an Arabic adaptation of Tolstoy’s philosophical saga, this event finds Palestine-based ensemble Theatre For Everybody re-creating ‘War And Peace’ within the conflict-ridden Gaza Strip, linking up live via satellite with LDN’s Az Theatre to screen the still-in-development show at Rich Mix. As well as the main event, writers Hassan Abdulrazzak, Caryl Churchill, Ahmed Masoud and Haifa Zangana have written modern responses they’ve written to Tolstoy’s timeless text, which will be recited by actors David Calder, Jennie Stoller and Harriet Walter. Details and tickets here.
