And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

Spymonkey – The Complete Deaths | Shoreditch Town Hall | 20 Sep-1 Oct (pictured)
The very excellent Spymonkey are (is?) headed to Shoreditch Town Hall for a run of a show that people who like funnies and Shakespeare will not want to miss. Actually, even if you only like funnies, and even if you only like Shakespeare, I reckon this is still one you should make time for. It’s adapted by hugely acclaimed multi-tasking creative Tim Crouch, and stages every single death written by Shakespeare. Gruesome, possibly, but also funny, and possibly moving. See this page here for all the info.

Glamf*ckery | Camden People’s Theatre | 20 Sep
Hurrah, for Calm Down Dear, CPT’s annual festival of lovely feminist theatrical shenanigans, and here is my first pick from it, a dark bouffon piece offering “an unapologetic look at the masculinisation of women in power roles, and the psychotic lifestyling trends that are turning us into self-policing agents in an ‘InstaCulture’ of control, surveillance, and hyper-sexualisation”. See the venue website here for details.

Sheraz Yousaf Presents: The Magnificent Seven | The Stag’s Head | 20 Sep
You’ll get seven up and coming comedians for just three of your earth pounds over at at The Stag’s Head in Hoxton this Tuesday, and two of them were finalists in BC Radio New Comedy Award this summer, so it sounds promising. Doors open 8.00pm for an 8.30pm start, pay your money on the door. There’s an event page here.
