Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 2 Jun: Incoming Festival, Punts, Light
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 26 May 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Incoming Festival | New Diorama | 2-11 Jun
Hurrah, time again for New Diorama’s Incoming Festival, which offers a collection of creations from the country’s emerging theatre companies. I don’t think any one show is on more than once, and I am not going to cherry pick, because I kind of want you to go and see everything, as it all looks so good. Anyway, have a look and see what you think might suit you best, the line up of shows is right here.
Punts | Theatre503 | 31 May-24 Jun
“Jack, a young man with a learning disability, lives at home, cared for by his devoted parents. Like most men in their twenties, he has needs – his mates at the rugby club talk about nothing but getting laid, whilst Jack’s most erotic experience to date is the time he was winked at by the pretty cashier in Lloyds. Desperate for their son to not feel left out, his parents Alastair and Antonia decide that they should to bring in a professional. But Julia, the prostitute they hire, has a far more profound impact on the whole family than they could ever have imagined.” This is the latest show from the excellent and much-praised producing company Kuleshov, see this page here to book your tickets.
Light | Battersea Arts Centre | 31 May – 17 Jun (pictured)
We’ve tipped it before, and here we are unashamedly tipping it again. TW favourites Theatre Ad Infinitum bring back their critically acclaimed show ‘Light’, first staged back in 2015, for another run at BAC. It’s a story of a dystopian, Orwellian future in which a totalitarian regime monitors its citizens’ thoughts, evoked in darkness with a pulsating soundscape, torchlight and physical theatre.
