Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 27 Mar: Easter 1916, Austentatious, Bug
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 20 March 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Easter 1916 | Pentameters Theatre | 15 Mar-3 Apr
A timely production of ‘Easter 1916’, a play which won much acclaim when it was first staged at London’s King’s Head theatre; the piece documents the events of the 1916 uprising in Dublin, almost exactly one hundred years ago. They’re quite a way through their run of this, make sure you see it before it ends in early April. Scroll this page here for info and call 020 7435 3648 to book.
Austentatious | Leicester Square Theatre | 27 Mar (pictured)
This isn’t the first time I have recommended ‘Austentatious’ and it probably won’t be the last, although to save me the trouble, I suppose you could all just try and remember that they are back at Leicester Square Theatre once a month at the moment. If you haven’t seen / heard of them yet, that’s entirely scandalous, and it’s about time you saw this acclaimed troupe of Austen-inspired improvvers. Immediately click this link here to book tickets for this or one of their other performances.
Bug | Found111 | 24 Mar-7 May
A staging of US playwright and screenwriter Tracy Letts’ acclaimed psychological horror piece ‘Bug’, featuring Kate Fleetwood and James Norton off the telly, and films, and stuff. The play is about a lonely waitress who is hiding out from an abusive relationship in a seedy motel room, seeking comfort in drink and drugs, when a stranger turns up; the result is dark and sometimes comic depiction of two people on the edge. See this page here for info and to book.
