Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 18 Oct: Jackson’s Five, Callisto – A Queer Epic, A House Repeated
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 11 October 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Hanging By A Thread | Jacksons Lane | 18 Oct-19 Oct
Two stories revolving around a bed: an old woman who has knitted herself into it thinks about the past and anticipates her demise, while the young woman who cares for her is longing for an unattainable romance. This piece, told through puppetry and music, is part of Jacksons Five, the venue’s short season of work from five companies who are new to Jacksons Lane, or presenting brand new shows. See this page here for details.
Callisto – A Queer Epic | Arcola Theatre | 18-22 Oct
This show had a very successful run at the Fringe this summer, and certainly went down well with our own reviewer, who was very impressed by the actors’ brilliant performance. The play, a new piece from Howard Coase comprises four stories of queer relationships at different times, three historical and one in the future. For more info and ticket-bookery, see this page here.
A House Repeated | Battersea Arts Centre | 18-29 Oct
This is back by popular demand, so you might already have been, but, you know, if you haven’t you can go for the first time, and if you have you can go for a second time. Info for those who haven’t: it’s “an interactive performance-game that invites you to explore – and then create – an imagined world without leaving your seat”, and it’s had great reviews. See the venue website here for more.
