Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 22 Jan: Global Pillage, Out There On Fried Meat Ridge Road, Richard III
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 15 January 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Global Pillage | King’s Place | 21-22 Jan
If you love Deborah Frances-White (I dare you bloody not to) and panel show fun then this podcast recording might prove just the thing to occupy you this Sunday afternoon. If you’re really enthusiastic, you can also go yesterday (use your time machine), and again in March. It sounds like it will be fascinating, because the subject matter at hand is idiom, culture, customs and norms all around the world. See this page here for details.
Out There On Fried Meat Ridge Road | White Bear Theatre | 17 Jan-4 Feb
Er, yes, I must confess to being very much attracted to this on account of it’s wacky name, despite being a near-lifelong vegetable eater. But you know, I wouldn’t have gone through with tipping it if I didn’t have it on good authority that this “exhilarating comedy”. became a cult thing when it opened in LA in 2012. Head this way for info.
Richard III | Rosemary Branch Theatre | 17-29 Jan (pictured)
So, a question: have you ever seen Shakespeare’s ‘Richard III’ retold as an anarchic comedy? No? Well, here’s your opportunity. “Follow our homicidal hero” suggests the blurb, “on a blistering journey from the political wilderness to the throne and all the way to a [SPOILER ALERT] car park in Leicester.” What are you waiting for? Take a look at the venue website here.
