Dance & Physical Opera Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 19 Nov: Us Then, The Warrior Women of Yang, Ben Hur
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 November 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Sarah Dowling and Kath Duggan: Us Then | Trinity Laban | 19-20 Nov (pictured)
These two met while working with immersive theatre outfit Punchdrunk, and share a desire to combine theatrical realism with the possibly slightly less realistic genre of dance. Focusing on just two characters, the show takes its inspiration from Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting For Godot’, and I have a very good feeling about it. More info from this page here.
China National Peking Opera – The Warrior Women Of Yang | Sadler’s Wells | 19-22 Nov
A rare opportunity here in the UK to sample the colourful, exciting, idiosyncratic art-form that is Peking Opera, so I heartily recommend you make the most of it. ‘The Warrior Women Of Yang’ sounds amazing – a tale of courage, patriotism and family loyalty featuring mime, acrobatics and stage combat. See this page here for info and to book.
Ben Hur | Tricycle Theatre | 19 Nov-9 Jan
Patrick Barlow’s extremely daft adaptation of epic novel ‘Ben Hur’, featuring a cast of just four, gets a timely staging at Tricycle Theatre. I say timely because this is exactly the kind of silly fluff I need to get me through the dark winter nights, and I have a feeling you all might also benefit from a dose. A no-doubt enriching experience whether you are a fan of the film or not… Details and tickets from here.
