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

On the Run – Tell Me Anything | Shoreditch Town Hall | 21 Sep-1 Oct
I haven’t yet seen this show from relatively new theatre company On The Run, aka Hannah Moss and David Ralfe, but I have ever so much confidence that this will be brilliant, because we were so blown away by their fantastic debut ‘So It Goes’ when we saw it back in 2014 at the Edinburgh Fringe. It’s an autobiographical show, based on David Ralfe’s own life experiences (as ‘So It Goes’ was based on Hannah Moss’s), about love, eating disorders, and growing up. See this page here for details.

Namvula | Canada Water Culture Space | 21 Sep
This is another event from the previously mentioned and tipped 14th London Annual Music Festival, and this time I am recommending the excellent Namvula, whose music fuses folk and urban traditions from both her Zambian and Scottish roots, blending African sounds with Latin and Jazz. Sounds great, doesn’t it? It is. Head this way for more info.

Blush | Camden People’s Theatre | 20-24 Sep (pictured)
This is a) another show that we’ve seen and loved in Edinburgh (this time in 2016) and b) also another event from a previously tipped festival, this time CPTs feminist celebration Calm Down Dear. This is about the utterly horrifying developing fashion for revenge porn, and the effect that social media and digital media has on our most intimate relationships. Probably not easy viewing, enraging, possibly, but a really important issue. See the CPT website here to book.
