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

Frankenstein | Greenwich Theatre | 7-11 Feb (pictured)
Well, you all know the story of Frankenstein so I probably don’t need to say much to introduce this gothic tale, but even if you know it like the back of your hand, it’s an adaptation of an absolute classic, and definitely worth a look. This particular production includes puppetry, live music and what promises to be a fresh and exciting retelling. See this page here for more.

She Called Me Mother | Tara Theatre | 7-11 Feb
“Evangeline is waiting; she has been waiting a long time. She waits for the Black Swan to glide through the station and show her a little warmth and kindness. She waits for a ticket home to Trinidad, the sun, the mango trees, and the street vendors selling curry. She waits for Shirley, the daughter she let walk away all those years ago.” The brilliant Cathy Tyson stars in this fab-sounding new play from Michelle Inniss. See the venue website here for details.

Larkinworld | Southbank Centre | 31 Jan-30 Apr
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Philip Larkin, because I think he was a great poet, but oh, his work is so full of failure and misery. So I think this new exhibition is probably just the thing for me, but possibly you lot as well. Artist DJ Roberts explores the writer’s oeuvre, finding the positives with a variety of works in neon, drawings, and pop culture ephemera. Head this way for info.
