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

The We Plays | The Hope Theatre | 27 Sep-15 Oct
You may remember playwright Andrew Maddock from his critical successes ‘The Me Plays’ and ‘In/Out (A Feeling)’ and you may even remember reading an interview we did with him about the latter early this year. This latest show is a double bill of monologues, ‘Cyprus Sunsets’, about a man visiting the titular island following a break-up, and ‘Irn Pru’, described as “a love letter to the city of Glasgow”. See the venue website here for info.

Kindertransport | Chickenshed | 27 Sep-22 Oct
This is based on actual autobiographical accounts from Kindertransport children, and tells the story of a nine year old girl, sent to England to be taken in by a well meaning Englishwoman. The play is set in different time periods, analysing past events and their consequences, and exploring survival and the need to build a new life. See this page here for info.

Give Me Your Skin | Camden People’s Theatre | 28-29 Sep (pictured)
As you’d expect from a piece that’s part of CPT’s excellent Calm Down Dear festival, this has a feminist sort of a theme, offering a “fresh perspective” on gender inequality. The show “encourages the audience to actively resist stereotypes, moving out of the realm of discourse and into the mode of action”. Which is good. Head this way for details.
