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

Letters To Windsor House | Soho Theatre | 31 Jan-11 Feb
Hurrah, today is my birthday, and I really do deserve the fabulous treat of seeing Rebecca Biscuit and Louise Mothersole – aka Sh!t Theatre – perform this highly critically acclaimed piece about the housing crisis. Our review team at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer were completely wowed by this, and so was everyone else in town, by the sound of it, so don’t miss your chance to see it in this very handy central London location, click here to book.

Control | Battersea Arts Centre | 31 Jan-4 Feb
Hmmm, starting to wonder if the artistic community conspired to sicken me with treats on my special day. This is a multimedia documentary: “a new work devised from an ongoing global set of interviews with people who have unique insight and perspective on how we might affect positive change and shape the future. ‘Control’ is a beautiful weaving of what it means to be human today; our experiences, our fears and our intrinsic connection to one another”. For more info see the venue website here.

#Hashtag Lightie | Arcola Theatre | 31 Jan-4 Feb (pictured)
Oh, I wish I could make it to all of these, not least because they are all about really important, contemporary stuff, and this last one is no exception. It’s the story of a mixed race YouTuber who finds herself at the centre of a social media storm after one of her videos goes viral, and explores ideas about what it means to be mixed race in the UK today. Promises to be hilarious and heart-warming as well as broaching the pertinent issues. Head this way for details.
