THIS WEEK IN CULTURE + THE CULTURE BUSINESS
Today in London: Friday 5 April 2013
Cram those smart office clothes into a carrier bag, Londoners, because it’s Walk To Work Day. And since we’re so into the ‘going mobile’ thing here at TW London, why not take a power-stroll to one of the following Friday 5 Apr-dated cultural attractions…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
The Claudia O’Doherty Experience, The Invisible Dot, 5 Apr (pictured)
Critically applauded (and Comedy Award-nominated) at Edinburgh’s last Fringe, the brilliant and bizarre Claudia O’Doherty MCs this Friday-nightly variety extravaganza-and-a-half featuring BBC3 sketch stars Two Episodes Of Mash and the great Sara Pascoe. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
Narrative, Royal Court Theatre, 5 Apr – 5 May
The face of ‘Dreams Of A Life’ and ‘Fresh Meat’, actress Zawe Ashton, anchors a capable cast of ex-RSC thespians, who have themselves all been party to creating Anthony Nielsen’s minimally-billed “new play about stories”. Details and tickets here.
Say It With Flowers, Hampstead Theatre, 5 Apr – 4 May
Director par excellence Emily Mitchell (‘Small Hours’, ‘Women Of Troy’) takes the audience on a scenic ‘promenade’ (as in, they leave their seats and take a walk) into Gertrude Stein’s surreal modernist prose. Details and tickets here.
