Comedy Dance & Physical Magic Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 9 Mar: The Master Of The Macabre, Surprise!, Frankenstein
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 March 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Master Of The Macabre | Hoxton Hall | 9-11 Mar
“Benedict Barber is a magician with a taste for the ghoulish and grisly”, but don’t be put off because he will be brilliantly entertaining in this show, as takes his audience along a dark autobiographical journey, and promises you the most frightening, edge of the seat magic show ever. On reflection, if you are feeling a little fragile, it might not be quite the thing. But, go on, throw caution to the winds. I reckon it’ll be worth it. See this page here.
Surprise! | Camden People’s Theatre | 9-10 Mar (pictured)
Another offering from Sprint: Gaulier-trained actress and theatre maker Lauren Silver offers “an interactive clown show that looks at how we can confront anxiety, overcome fear, and find freedom from panic through laughter”, and it’s about time, because my anxiety-related stress levels are rocketing. My problems aside, though, this should prove highly entertaining whether you are anxious or not. See the venue website here.
Frankenstein | Wilton’s Music Hall | 7-18 Mar
There seem to be quite a lot of Frankensteins about at the moment, and I view that as a good thing. I’d also suggest that this particular version is very much worth taking in. A transfer from the award winning Watermill Theatre, it’s been re-imagined by Tristan Bernays, and focuses on the dynamics of the relationship between parent and child. For details, head this way.
