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

Larry Dean – Farcissist | Soho Theatre | 27 Sep
For some time now we’ve been watching the career of Larry Dean, because we think he is brilliant, and very much on the up – in fact, we interviewed him earlier (very early, actually) this year, so if you want to find out some more about him, you could always read it. This time he’s performing his award-winning 2016 show ‘Farcissist’, in which the comedian explores what it means to be him. See the venue website here for more info.

Girls | Soho Theatre | 27 Sep-29 Oct (pictured)
Oops, I’ve done it again – chosen two things that are both on at the Soho theatre on the same night. Luckily, this one’s on for quite a while, so if you are desperate to see the other one, then I guess this can wait. Don’t wait too long though, because it looks super. Three young women are kidnapped from home and have their world turned upside down, in this play by Theresa Ikoko that explores enduring friendship and the power of imagination. See this page for details.

Toy Soldier | Jack Studio Theatre | 27 Sep-8 Oct
“I was just doing the job I was sent there for”. This new play from Jonathon Crewe tells the story of a servicewoman who is on trial in a UK court, accused of war crimes – the torture and murder of an Iraqi civilian in a military detention centre – questioning the system, and asking if justice can ever really prevail. Should be an insightful look at a difficult issue. See this page here for more.
