Today in London: Tuesday 9 April 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 4 April 2013
So tis Tuesday, and the week is creeping to a close… slowly. But wait, what’s this? A weekend-semblant list of London’s main cultural diary dates? Why yes, yes it is…
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
Adam Green & Binki Shapiro, Village Underground, 9 Apr (pictured)
In the grand, Gainsbourgian tradition of ‘are they or aren’t they dating’ duets – they’re apparently not, by the way – boy-about-Brooklyn Adam Green and ex-Little Joy valley girl Binki Shapiro have combined their bi-coastal indie wiles in a new collaboration. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
The Arrival, Jacksons Lane, 9-3 Apr
The Tamasha Theatre Co and Circus Space collaborate on this visually-vibrant new play, based on Oscar-winning Shaun Tan’s illustrated book of the same name, as black migrant Dele makes his passage into strange lands over a “sea of unfamiliarity”. Details and tickets here.
Children Of The Sun, National Theatre Lyttelton, 9 Apr – 19 May
Playwright Andrew Upton adapts Russian dramatist Maxim Gorky’s darkly comic social caricature. Unaware of the half-starving peasants massing, likeable fool doctor Protasov’s only fascination is in his chemical trials to create a human super-race. Details and tickets here.
Table, The Shed, 9 Apr – 15 May
A new play by Tanya Ronder, directed by Rufus Norris, is a vari-dimensional tale of love, ghosts and ways of living over six generations. A cast of nine actors play thirty parts, each character relating to the others via a single and very significant item of furniture. Details and tickets here.
