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

Superhero | Southwark Playhouse | 28 Jun-22 Jul
“Colin is a loving husband and stay-at-home dad who adores his daughter. But mistakes are made, and he finds himself in the fight of his life climbing Big Ben dressed as a superhero. How did he get here? And why couldn’t he get a bigger cape?” I have to be honest, I hesitated over this one man musical, because it appears to be inspired by the antics of Fathers 4 Justice, and I don’t trust them (and not because I don’t believe in equal rights for fathers), but you know, this is fiction, and it sounds good. See this page here for all the info.

The View From Nowhere | The Park Theatre | 27 Jun-22 Jul
A show with an interesting premise, brought to you by a great creative team. It tells the tale of a a brilliant biochemist whose experiments prove that a popular herbicide is carcinogenic, who must fight for action against those whose vested interests are at stake.

The Paper Cinema’s MacBeth – Scratch | Battersea Arts Centre | 30 Jun (pictured)
It’s a scratch performance, which might switch some of you off a bit, but don’t switch off, actually, because it’s from a great, acclaimed company – The Paper Cinema – whose blend of live animation and music will completely captivate you, scratch night or not. This re-imagining of ‘MacBeth’ as a cautionary tale promises epic battle scenes and intricate characters in a “silent film created before your eyes”. See this page here for details.
