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

Duvet Day | Polka Theatre | 5-13 Apr
Here’s something lovely for parents of very little children, a show squarely aimed at, well, very little children. There are different showings for two age groups, one for the very small (babies aged 0-18 months) and a second for toddlers (18-30 months) and it looks really cuddly and snuggly and fun, and, as is often the case with this sort of baby-focused show, I feel a bit sad my ‘baby’ is nearly ten… but you know, all you lot, with your teeny tots, go and enjoy it without me. Sob.

Sublime | Tristan Bates Theatre | 4-8 Apr
“Sophie bursts back into her brother’s life, on the run from trouble after going missing for two years. Can she lure Sam away from domestic coupledom to rekindle their old crime partnership and save her skin?” This new play from Sarah Thomas promises to be a comedy thriller brimming with Balaclavas, wigs, jewels, tough talking, fast swindling and forbidden passions.

Expensive Shit | Soho Theatre | 4-22 Apr (pictured)
This critically acclaimed show won one of The Scotsman’s much coveted Fringe Firsts when it was performed up in Scotland in August last year, plus, this is by the excellent Adura Onashile so you know you can expect something pretty good. It focuses on Tolu, a toilet attendant who once lived in Lagos and dreamed of working with Fela Kuti, but who is now, decades later, working in a Glasgow night club. See the venue website here for details.
