Children's Shows Theatre ThisWeek In London

By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 24 July 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Ex Child Genius | Camden People’s Theatre | 31 Jul-2 Aug (pictured)
Hurrah, it’s time for the Camden Fringe, and here is my first choice, a brand new show from the very brilliant Richard Fry. It’s all about Arthur, a schoolboy superbrain who seems destined for great things, yet has failed to live up to that promise. A show about the people who get lost along the way and the lengths they will go to find themselves again, click here for more.
Troll | Little Angel Theatre | 31 Jul-3 Aug
It’s the holidays, of course, and while I expect you will all be hoping to spend a good amount of time outside, there’s always time to take in a show. This one is aimed at 4-9s but I reckon grown-ups will be charmed by it too. Set on Iceland, the play weaves together popular folk tales, told through the use of puppets and an original score.

The Wasp | Jermyn Street Theatre | 31 Jul-12 Aug
“Heather and Carla haven’t seen each other since school. Their lives have taken very different paths- Carla lives a hand to mouth existence while Heather has a high flying career, husband and beautiful home. And yet, here they are in a cafe having tea and making awkward conversation.” Morgan Lloyd Malcolm’s 2015 thriller examines how we hold on to our childhood experiences, and what we are willing to do to resolve them. Details here.
