Three To See on 22 Mar: Massive Sense Of Urgency, Dissenting Adults, Moonfleece

And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Massive Sense Of Urgency | Ovalhouse | 22-24 Mar
Madi Maxwell-Libby – “award-winning office temp and professional spare wheel” – promises to take us on a journey to better understand our economic system, and that, frankly, is a journey that I really really need to undertake. According to the blurb, you should prepare yourself for “drilling, dancing and some heavy-duty irony in this satirical skewering of life under capitalism”. My interest is well and truly piqued, and I expect yours is too, so head right this way.
Dissenting Adults | Arcola Theatre | 22-24 Mar
““I am the effin Post-Brexit Universe. All I got to sort out now, is how to reverse time, back to 2016 when it all went arse upwards.” Another offering from the Creative/Disruption 18 season, this one a new and devised production from the venue’s Arcola 50+ community theatre group, which will explore “the stories behind the headlines and the stories at the intersection of politics and our lives”. See this page here for more.
Moonfleece | Pleasance Theatre | 22 Mar-15 Apr (pictured)
A production of Philip Ridley’s acclaimed 2010 play, the themes of which seem as relevant as ever now, possibly even more so. It follows Curtis, a leading member of a far right political group, who returns to his former home, a flat in a now derelict tower block. He’s haunted by the ghost of his late brother, and aims to find out why. It’s a humorous piece, despite its potentially depressing themes: its exploration of racism, homophobia and far right beliefs. Details here.
