And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Don’t Smoke In Bed | Finborough Theatre | 6-22 Mar (S, M, T) (pictured)
This is the premiere of a new piece by US writer Aurin Squire; you may have seen another of hi s plays, ‘Obama-ology’, which was produced at Finborough Theatre last year. Like other examples of his work, this focuses on the interracial and multiracial, in this case examining the relationship of a young couple on the verge of starting a family. Sounds rather promising, so head this way for more info and to book your tickets.
Megha | Watermans | 6 Mar
A Nepali film about a young professional woman whose relationships are affected by the pressures of her busy urban lifestyle, and who finds herself caught between two different men. This looks really good – so go here if you want book yourself in – but it’s also part of a wider programme of events, the London Asian Film Festival, so also take a look here to see if there’s anything else that takes your fancy.
Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down | Theatre N16 | 6-17 Mar
I love it when plays feature specifically northern characters (disclosure: I am a northerner) and so I was immediately drawn to this monologue-based piece featuring three Yorkshire women, even despite the bleak themes of insecurity and domestic abuse. I suspect there’s some hope in there too, thankfully – it’s a tale of family, love and survival. See this page here to book your tickets. And don’t forget that Theatre N16 is now in Balham…
