And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Wet bread | King’s Head Theatre | 10, 11 + 13 Jul
This satirical show is on as part of King’s Head Theatre’s Festival 47, which is all about the new writing, and focuses on the character of Adele, who just can’t believe the Tories won, and wants to change the world, end fracking, help the homeless, save the welfare state and keep Britain in Europe. Unfortunately, everything’s against her – not least all her friends who don’t agree with her and the love of her life who isn’t vegan. For more info on this, see this page here, and to see other festival shows, see this page here.
Jayde Adams is Jayded | Soho Theatre | 10 Jul
Quite a few works in progress over at Soho Theatre at the moment, so I thought I would pick just one of them, sorry everyone else, but Jayde Adams is very much a TW favourite and won the impromptu contest to get tipped by me. Perhaps I should have warned them all, they could have each run a campaign. It might have been fun, a sort of hark back to all that election fun we have been having lately. Or not. Anyway, go and see Jayde’s show, info here.
Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine | King’s Place | 10 Jul
Francis Poulenc’s one-singer, one act forty minute opera for soprano, based on the play of the same name by Jean Cocteau, brought to you by the excellent and award winning OperaUpClose and performed by the brilliant Sarah Minns. “A devastating musical portrait of a human being on the brink of disintegration”.
