Three To See on 11 Jul: The Weir, The Cloak & Dagger Club – Great British Mysteries?, Heroines
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 4 July 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
The Weir | White Bear Theatre | 11-15 Jul
A production of Conor McPherson’s award winning 1997 play, which you will no doubt remember premiered at the Royal Court Theatre; if you’re not old enough, you might instead remember the 2013 staging at the Donmar Warehouse. If you haven’t seen it at all, then here’s a chance. A group of people are spending the evening in a remote farmhouse pub in rural Ireland, telling each other stories with a supernatural theme, but then the conversation becomes more personally haunting. See this page here for info.
The Cloak & Dagger Club – Great British Mysteries? | Hen & Chickens | 11 Jul (pictured)
“Join Olive Bacon (Supernaturalist) and Dr. Teddy Tyrell (Scorpio), in this live mockumentary adventure investigating monsters, myths and Noel Edmonds. Prepare to be mildly unnerved.” This sounds fun, and comes courtesy of a pair of performers with great Cvs, Rose Robinson and Will Close. For details and tickets see this page here.
Heroines | Theatre N16 | 11-15 Jul
This take on Shakespeare’s women plucks six of the Bard’s female characters from their respective plays and puts them in a room together, in what sounds like a fairly contemporary setting, and I suspect the results will be interesting. The creators of the show argue that these characters’ roles are muddied by the male-centric storyline of the pieces they appear in, and this show will explore who they really are.
