Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 24 Aug: The Roundabout, Realtine/Noreen, The Reluctant Fundamentalist
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 17 August 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
The Roundabout | Park Theatre | 24 Aug-24 Sep (pictured)
I might have mentioned before that I am very fond of the plays of JB Priestley so there’s no way I’d want to miss this, a high profile revival of one of his plays that hasn’t had very much attention. It’s a comedy about a dysfunctional family, set in the nineteen-thirties, and as you’d expect from a production at this venue, it’s got a cast with mostly rather impressive CVs. Book your tickets here.
Realtine/Noreen | Tristan Bates Theatre | 23-27 Aug
I’m fond of a double bill, and this one consists of two plays by the same writer-performer, Janet Behan. Both the women she portrays are Irish, but very different, and both the plays examine what happens to people when they grow up in a theocracy. Wander over to the venue website here for more info and to book.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist | Finborough Theatre | 23-27 Aug
You may recall my previous recommendations in this series of productions presented by National Youth Theatre at the Finborough. This is the first ever stage production of Mohsin Hamid’s Man Booker Prize shortlisted novel and Hollywood blockbuster film, adapted by Stephanie Street and directed by Prasanna Puwanarajah. See the venue website here for more.
