Three To See on 1 Aug: Curses, Zoe Coombs-Marr – Trigger Warning, Ya’akobi and Leidental
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 25 July 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Curses | Camden People’s Theatre | 1-3 Aug
Hurrah, the Camden Fringe has begun, and that means lots of great stuff upcoming. This is my first choice, I think, from the bounty that’s on offer and it sounds fun: “Fab and Evie have less than an hour to save the world. Fab is cursed with knowing the future but never being believed, and this time he has predicted the Apocalypse. But if they can break the curse, maybe the world won’t have to end after all”. Agree with me? Get your information here.
Zoe Coombs-Marr – Trigger Warning | Soho Theatre | 1-2 Aug (pictured)
The award winning Zoe Coombs Marr was much praised for last year’s first outing as alter-ego Dave, and now she’s back with a second instalment, so that’s rather good news, isn’t it? After dealing with the fallout from the first show, Dave’s gone all Gaulier, so serious clowning and mime is on the cards. Excellent. See the venue website here for details.
Ya’akobi and Leidental | Etcetera Theatre | 1-5 Aug
It looks like this is a Camden Fringe show too, though I didn’t actually realise that when I selected it, so that just shows you how alluring Camden Fringe is. This one is by the late great Israeli dramatist Hanoch Levin, translated by Shir Freibach, so you can count on the writing to be good, and it’s a “grotesque comedy”, in which a pair of best friends put their relationship to the test when they end up in pursuit of one woman. See this page here for info.
