And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Me… | Little Angel Theatre | 8 Dec-29 Jan (pictured)
Well, it’s officially the last day of the festive season, so how about one last treat for your little ones to take the edge off the sad removal of the Christmas decorations? This show about a fluffy baby penguin looks almost unbearably adorable so is definitely a show for the younger end (2-6) but one which I am sure parents will also coo over. See this page here for details.
A Curse Of Saints | Etcetera Theatre | 6-7 Jan
And, by complete contrast, a scary one man show for you grown-ups: “Cyprus, the late 19th century. A boy is found dead in an olive grove. As the villagers gossip about how he came to be there, and what might have killed him, a shepherd reveals his own suspicions. Since the arrival of the British, the blue-eyed ’saviours’ come to colonise his motherland, he has been having visions of crooked saints, and nightmares of the evil eye. As the omens escalate, along with sightings of an Anatolian gypsy’s ghost, the shepherd knows that death is nigh.” Yikes, Head this way for info.
Wild Honey | Hampstead Theatre | 2 Dec-21 Jan
It’s been on for a while already, but you’ve still time to catch Michael Frayn’s acclaimed comedy of errors based on Anton Chekhov’s early, unnamed play. Offers a “tale of nineteenth century Russian life replete with classic misunderstandings, irrepressible desires and nostalgia for a vanishing world”. See this page here for more.
