THIS WEEK IN CULTURE + THE CULTURE BUSINESS
Today in London: Monday 30 Sept 2013
Making it big in the big city today, TW London’s XXL ‘things to do’ options are…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Angel Comedy Extravaganza, Camden Head, 30 Sep – 6 Oct
Angel Comedy celebrates having an all-new seven day itinerary with a week of extravagant comic specials, and free specials at that. Tonight’s is a screening of Tommy Wiseau’s laughably bad film ‘thriller’ ‘The Room’, whilst ensuing lures include Shappi Khorsandi, Daniel Simonsen, Jarred Christmas, Simon Munnery and Luisa Omielan. Details here.
TODAY’S DANCE CHOICES
Don Quixote, Royal Opera House, 30 Sep – 6 Nov
Premiering this evening with a charity gala performance aiding the Royal Opera House Foundation, Carlos Acosta’s adaptation of this lighthearted chivalric classic stars an alternating cast of dancers (not least Acosta) in its main role. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S OPERA CHOICES
Die Fledermaus, London Coliseum, 30 Sep – 6 Nov (pictured)
Olivier-winning director Christopher Alden makes over Strauss’ fast-paced operetta – a comic landslide of vengeance, mistaken identities and champagne – as an art deco-style Freudian fantasy. Details and tickets here.
