Children's Shows Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 28 Aug: The Turas Mor, Other Palace Family Season, Edward II
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 21 August 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are..
The Turas Mor | Lloyd Park, Walthamstow | 28 Aug
“It’s the day when humans get to see behind the Spider’s Veil to The Kingdom of the Fairies. But the King is sick and it’s up to the humans to save him…” This promenade production taking place in Lloyd Park is a community play, put together by professionals but performed by volunteers, and is set in a world of samba and carnival, which sounds lovely and cheery. Fingers crossed for nice weather, see this page here.
Family Season | The Other Palace | 28-30 Aug
Back over to the former St James Theatre now (we recently stopped by for another event in the venue’s Page To Stage strand of new musical readings, showcases and productions) for something for the kids to take in before they head back to school. This consists of two musical readings, of ‘Chicken Little’ and ‘Dino Story’, and should be fun for all the family. Click here for info.
Edward II | Tristan Bates Theatre | 22 Aug-9 Sep (pictured)
The excellent Lazarus Theatre mark the fiftieth anniversary of the UK decriminalisation of homosexuality with a production of Christopher Marlow’s classic play about the titular king and his beloved Gaveston. “”Why would you love him who the world hates so? Because he loves me more than all the world.” Head this way for details.
