The TW-recommended Convergence festival kicks off in London today – check out the TW:Guide to the whole event here. Meanwhile, today’s other TW-tipped events are…

Marvin Gaye Chetwynd – Here She Comes | Royal Festival Hall | 10 Mar (pictured)
This sounds like a very fascinating thing from Turner Prize nominee Marvin Gaye Chetwynd: described as a cross between sculpture and performance, it tells the stories of different women from different times in history, and also draws in some narratives from well known feminist texts. Of course, it’s all part of the Women Of The World festival that’s going on just south of the river this week – all rather interesting for avid feminists like me. See this page here for info on ‘Here She Comes’, and this long list here for all the other WOW events.

Lynn Ruth Miller | Vauxhall Tavern | 10 Mar
And talking of women of the world, Lynn Ruth Miller is one of those, if ever I met one. You might recall that we tipped one of her other shows, ‘Get A Grip’, back in Jan, but this is a different one, ‘Ageing Is Amazing’. Always great to see this octogenarian cabaret stalwart and definite TW-favourite rocking the boards. See the venue website here for all the info.

If You Kiss Me, Kiss Me | Young Vic | 10 Mar-16 Apr
And on to another fabulous woman. Yes, it’s woman-day here at TWHQ. Though I have to be honest, I am not altogether sure exactly what exactly this show, starring Jane Horrocks, can really be categorised as. It seems as though there is singing and dancing and lots of great new wave music from back in the eighties, though, and that sounds good to me. Follow this link here if you agree.
