And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Jan Lee/ Denis Santacana Dance/ Hanna Wroblewski | The Place | 2 Feb
I’ve been attempting to do tips for some shows that are on as part of this year’s Resolution dance fest for some time now, but every time I come to actually write about them, I discover that they are already sold out. Finally, a miracle, this one isn’t, and not because it won’t be as brilliant as the other things I wanted to tip. Expect some exciting performances from excellent practitioners, see this page right here.
Rose Matafeo Is Finally Dead | Soho Theatre | 2-4 Feb
If you love comedy, and I am pretty sure a good portion of our readers do, then you really must make time to see Rose Matafeo in action because she is just so blooming good. This show has a great, strong theme: “Unhappy with the fact she won’t be around for the best celebration of her life, Rose is giving herself the send-off she deserves while she’s still on earth”. As our reviewer said up in Edinburgh this summer, just try to make sure you don’t die laughing. Here’s the link.
We Raise Our Hands In The Sanctuary | The Albany | 31 Jan-11 Feb (pictured)
Set in the early eighties against a backdrop of unemployment and the dawn of the AIDS crisis, this is the story of best friends, who, disenchanted by the gay disco scene of the time, create their own underground club, a sanctuary free of racism and homophobia. An exploration of friendship and the importance of queer spaces, which I think looks very promising. See the venue website here for details.
