And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

Identity | Shoreditch Town Hall | 12-14 Apr (pictured)
“East London Dance and Shoreditch Town Hall invite you into a world of east London grit and glamour as we convert the majestic Victorian Assembly Hall to create a pulsating gig-like atmosphere where dance and catwalk collide.” Expect alternative and underground forms of dance, style and musical expression, and a show – directed by the talented Tony Adigun – which will challenge preconceptions of sexual, cultural, gender and ethnic identity. See the venue website here for more.

Gutted | Canada Water Theatre | 12-13 Apr
Rikki Beadle Blair’s acclaimed play, first staged back in 2013 at Theatre Royal Stratford East, makes a return to the London stage with these performances at Canada Water. If you didn’t see it then: it’s set in the council estates of South London, and is a story told through the eyes of four brothers, the eldest of whom has returned from rehab determined to air some truths about his family.

Cream Tea and Incest | The Hope Theatre | 10-28 Apr
That’s a bit of a worrying title, isn’t it? But don’t worry too much because I have it on good authority that this is rather jolly – the story of an incompetent but optimistic Englishman and his loyal valet, Jeffrey, who gets embroiled in a match-making quest which takes a turn for the sinister. Sounds like it very amusingly channels something of the spirit of Wodehouse, and as an added bonus features a rather interesting cardboard set. See this page here for details.
