Spoken Word Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 14 Jan: Henry Rollins, 4000 Days, In/Out (a feeling)
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 7 January 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Henry Rollins: Charmingly Obstinate | Barbican | 14+16 Jan
The former frontman of US punk band Black Flag has since the mid eighties pursued an eclectic and wide ranging career – his Wikipedia biog describes him as “musician, writer, journalist, publisher, actor, television and radio host, spoken word artist, comedian, and activist”. No surprise, then, that this show is set to be chock-full of anecdotes from his work and travel, as well as spoken word pieces and political opinion – expect funny, high energy shenanigans. See this page here for all the details.
4000 Days | Park Theatre | 14 Jan-13 Feb
Bafta-winning impressionist and actor Alistair McGowan stars in this rather promising three hander from West End and Broadway playwright Peter Quilter. It tells the intriguing tale of a man who, following a three week coma, wakes to find that four thousand days of his memory have been erased; his partner wants to be remembered, his mother wants him to forget. See this page here for more info and to book.
In/Out (a feeling) | The Hope Theatre | 12-30 Jan
This new play from award-nominated playwright Andrew Maddock (he did ‘The Me Plays’ back in 2014), is an exploration of human relationships, inspired by true stories, set against the backdrop of London’s sex trade. Sounds like it will probably be a fairly emotional piece, but definitely in a good and pertinent way. See the venue website here for info.
