TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES

Cheese, Floor One, 10-28 Sep (pictured)
Writer Nikki Schreiber’s ‘Cheese’ is – get this – a free-wheeling (get it? Cheese? Wheel?) simile for the credit crisis, driven by electricity generated by gym bicycles. The piece imagines a city made of cheese in which all the cheese disappears one day, leaving its inhabitants to trace a string of clues in search of an explanation. Details and tickets here.

Where The Shot Rabbits Lay, White Bear Theatre, 10-29 Sep
Brad Birch’s last drama, ‘Even Stillness Breathes Softly Against A Brick Wall’, did especially well when it ran in off West End earlier this year, and his latest, a tense, witty generation game examining a dad and his lad’s relationship, seems set to earn him similar acclaim. Details and tickets here.
