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

In-Nocentes – National Youth Dance Company | Sadler’s Wells | 7 Apr
As the title reveals, this is the work of the award-winning director/choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan and the National Youth Dance Company, and to my eyes, looks extremely promising. It features forty two – yes, forty two – young dancers and is set to Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’ recomposed by Max Richter. See this page here for all the info.

Breaking Stones | Proud Gallery Chelsea | 7 Apr-5 Jun
Another mildly revealing title, perhaps, though it’s not, as you might immediately assume, an exhibition of pictures of quarries and suchlike. In fact, it’s a collection of photos by Terry O’Neill documenting the rise of The Rolling Stones. Definitely one for rock history aficionados, and fans of the band, but interesting for anyone, I feel. And you know, if you have a couple of grand going spare, maybe you can buy a print. If you don’t, maybe you can afford the book that accompanies the exhibition. Scroll down this page here for more details.

The Brink | Orange Tree Theatre | 7-30 Apr (pictured)
This new play by award winning playwright Brad Birch has just received the 2016 Pinter Commission and is described as sharp, funny and dark, so that all sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? And it’s directed by Mel Hillyard, recipient of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Director Award 2015. It’s about Nick, a history teacher on the edge, exploring a hidden secret that he can’t get off his mind. See the venue website here for more info and to book.
