Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 27 Sep: Suzy Bennett, Horniman’s Choice, Miniaturists 53
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 20 September 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Suzy Bennett – Gumption | Museum Of Comedy | 27 Sep (pictured)
It’s a highly unfortunate thing that I have never yet managed to see Suzy Bennett perform, but I have it on extremely good and high authority – from a reasonable number of people whose opinions I have the utmost respect for – that she is definitely one to watch. But you don’t need their opinion, anyway, she’s a Funny Women Award winner. For info and tickets see this page here.
Horniman’s Choice | Finborough Theatre | 27 Sep-13 Oct, Sundays Mondays Tuesdays
This caught my eye because of my fabulously northern roots, and because two of the plays in this quartet of shorts was penned by Harold Brighouse, the brain behind of one of my favourite old scripts, ‘Hobson’s Choice’. The other two are by Allan Monkhouse and Stanley Houghton, who, with Brighouse, formed the ‘Manchester School’ of playwrights of the early twentieth century. Well worth a look, I reckon. More info and tickets here.
Miniaturists 53 | Arcola Theatre | 27 Sep
And on to more short pieces of theatre for your delectation, this time from short-play-institution The Miniaturists. If you are not familiar with what they do, well, they stage groups of short plays, as I have kind of already told you, really. The next show features the work of Vinay Patel, Will Bourdillon, Stewart Pringle, Joe Harbot and Catherine Harvey, and you can find more info and tickets here. For even more info on The Miniaturists and what they do, see their website here.
