Comedy Magic Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See On 1 Oct: Morgan and West – Parlour Tricks, Glasgow Girls, Hans Teeuwen – Real Rancour
By TW Editorial | Published on Saturday 24 September 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Morgan and West – Parlour Tricks | ArtsDepot | 1 Oct
Well, I’ve tipped them before and I’ll tip them again, because I love them to death and wish they lived next door to me so I could have them round for tea on a daily basis. Though, I suppose they are based in a different era to me, given that they are time-travelling Victorian magicians, so perhaps that wouldn’t work. I guess I will just have to make sure I see this show, and I recommend that you do too. See this page here for more info.
Glasgow Girls | Theatre Royal Stratford East | 20 Sep-1 Oct (pictured)
I can’t believe this – this brilliant new production of ‘Glasgow Girls’ completely wowed our reviewer in Edinburgh this summer, and yet I somehow failed to miss the fact that it was doing a run at Stratford East, until now. If you’re not aware of the play, it’s about a group of teens who fight the deportation of their friend’s asylum seeking family. Topical, relevant, brilliantly done. See the venue website here to book.
Hans Teeuwen – Real Rancour | Soho Theatre | 29 Sep-6 Oct
These dates are part of a UK tour (if you miss these shows he’s back at Leicester Square Theatre next month) by much praised Dutch comedian Hans Teeuwen, who is known for his absurd and unpredictable performances; Bridget Christie’s a fan, and calls her first time seeing him perform “an unnerving, discombobulating, exhilarating experience”. I suppose that doesn’t altogether sound like praise, but believe me, it is. Click here to book your tickets.
