Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 7 Mar: Wombmates, Homecomings – The Monkey, Of The Crowd
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 28 February 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Wombmates | Theatre N16 | 7-11 Mar
An amusing title, an intriguing concept, and the promise of being a “bizarre comedy” – I wasn’t going to pass this one up. This is the story of two brothers, Eric and David, but the twist, if you didn’t see it coming, is that it tells the tale of their lives from conception up until birth. So, now you (if, as aforementioned, didn’t see it coming) understand why it’s called ‘Wombmates’. See this page here for more.
Homecomings – The Monkey | Theatre503 | 7-18 Mar
Part of the previously covered Homecomings season at Theatre503, the staging by Synergy Theatre Project of a number of new plays by prisoners and ex-prisoners about getting out and going home. This one, by John Stanley, “paints a darkly comic portrait of dishonourable thieves bound together by addiction”. Click this link for all the info.
Of The Crowd | Camden People’s Theatre | 7 Mar (pictured)
Hurrah, it’s the return of CPT’s Sprint Festival, and with it so much good new stuff. I am sure I will be recommending more Sprint shows in the immediate future, but first up, this: Laura Kurlansky and Victoria Watson have collaborated on this immersive work, which is inspired by video games and theories and the rise of artificial intelligence, and explores the point at which computers and humans might overlap. For details, see the venue website here.
