Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 16 Mar: Interchangeable Bodies, Emma Sidi – Telenovela, Tamburlaine
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 9 March 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Interchangeable Bodies | Camden People’s Theatre | 16 Mar
We’ve had at least a whole day off from Sprint Festival so it’s about time we got back over there, in particular for this offering from Louisa Claughton, which explores gender, what it means, where our perceptions of it come from, and how it shapes us. I think this stuff is so interesting, not least because I think the upholding of gender ‘rules’ seems damaging, to me. Important that we examine it, and not just unthinkingly accept it. See this page here for more.
Emma Sidi – Telenovela | Soho Theatre | 16-18 Mar
Emma Sidi made a bit of a splash up at edfringe last summer with this character comedy piece, full of passion, obsession and revenge. “Think Mexican passion, soap operatic pain and transglobal heartache”, runs the blurb. She’s had lots and lots of critical acclaim, so see her before she’s on telly all of the time. Head this way to book your tickets.
Tamburlaine | Arcola Theatre | 15 Mar-8 Apr (pictured)
Oooh, this looks good, a new adaptation from Yellow Earth of the Christopher Marlowe classic, but featuring one of my favourite things, Taiko drumming, and a primarily female and very talented British East Asian cast. Should prove to be an affecting examination of power, masculinity and the limits of violence. See the venue website here for details.
