Three To See on 4 Jul: Jen Brister – The Other One, Torn Apart (Dissolution), Mirrors
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 27 June 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Jen Brister – The Other One | Soho Theatre | 4-6 Jul (pictured)
“Jen Brister’s not THAT ONE, she’s the OTHER ONE, in all things, not least becoming a Mum. Confused? Check out the haircut. So, what does it mean to be gay parent in 2017? And does life really get better in your 40s? Let’s hope so.” The excellent, acclaimed and needs-no-introduction comedian heads to Soho Theatre for a three night run, so head this way to book your tickets.
Torn Apart (Dissolution) | The Hope Theatre | 4-22 Jul
This show says it’s a love story set in three different times, and I am not too sure whether that means three separate love stories, or the same tale told in different ways… or… well, I may not be too sure what to expect, but I am certainly intrigued enough to want to see it. Not least because it’s primarily about women, and explores feminism, immigration, male repression, fate, homosexuality, and the human condition. See the venue website here for info.
Mirrors | King’s Head Theatre | 4-8 Jul
This is also rather female focused (the theme was not intentional) and is described as both a black comedy and a modern fairy tale which offers an exploration of beauty, narcissism, and the neuroses of contemporary women, groomed by the media and social expectation. Writer and performer Siobhan MacMillan tells the story of a shy girl, waiting for a date that never comes, and the anger that ensues. See this page here for details.
