MUSIC: Lucky Dragons, Purcell Room at Southbank Centre, 8 Feb
LA-based music radicals Lucky Dragons like to cultivate an all-inclusive vibe when they play live, fusing their digital tinkerings with a kind of audience sit-in. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: 1984, Almeida Theatre, 8 Feb – 29 Mar (pictured)
