Festivals Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 28 Jan: For A Black Girl, Foreign Goods 3, Temporary
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 21 January 2018
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
For A Black Girl | Vault Festival | 24-28 Jan
Hurrah, The Vault Festival is back – it began a few days ago – and here is my first pick from it. It’s a satirical exploration of female sexuality, violence and the effect of everyday racism, partly autobiographical and partly verbatim, delivered by two performers via spoken word and movement. Important stuff to be covering. See this page here for more.
Foreign Goods 3 | Arcola Theatre | 28 Jan
A third showcase from Pokfulam Rd Productions – following two previously sold-out occasions at Theatre503 – of short works: ten pieces exploring British Chinese themes, penned by a diverse set of writers. This is timed to celebrate the publication of a collection of previously showcased works, ‘Foreign Goods: A Selection of Writing by British East Asian Artists’. Click here for more.
Temporary | Camden People’s Theatre | 28 Jan
I get a bit edgy about tipping works in progress or scratch events, just in case people go to see it and blame me because it wasn’t perfect yet, but I have no qualms about recommending the new show from Libby Liburd, not least because she is brilliant (you may have seen her show ‘Muvvahood’ last year, and perhaps even read our Q&A with her) but also because it tackles an important issue, looking at the social and political reasons as why so many people currently find themselves in temporary accommodation. See the venue website here for details.
