James Rowland: Songs Of The Heart

1 week ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

If you read our words with a degree of regularity, you may well have an idea of who some of our very favourite performers are, especially those ones that we first made contact with up at the Edinburgh Fringe. Which means you may well already know and understand the high esteem in which we hold James Rowland. James specialises in superlatively excellent storytelling solo shows, ones that never fail to touch and entertain us.
Naomi Denny: All The Happy Things

2 weeks ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

Beginning a run at Soho Theatre this week is SH Productions’ ‘All The Happy Things’, a play by Naomi Denny that’s about bereavement, grief and sisterhood. These are serious themes, but the play itself is a dark comedy, and its approach to a difficult topic is definitely intriguing. I wanted to find out more about the show and its talented playwright, who is also a talented performer, and takes on one of the roles in this three-hander. I spoke to Naomi ahead of opening night.
Georgie Wedge: Per-Verse

3 weeks ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

I love a show that’s a bit harder to define, one that doesn’t quite fall into any of the kind of categories you’d find in something like, oh, I dunno… the Edinburgh Fringe programme. Georgie Wedge’s ‘Per-Verse’, which heads to Riverside Studios this week, is rather like that, a one-woman blend of stand-up, poetry, storytelling and physical comedy.
Callum Murray: Here Comes Your Ghost Again

1 month ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

Coming to the Bread & Roses Theatre at the start of April is ‘Here Comes Your Ghost Again’, a play with a rather interesting title that immediately piqued my interest when I heard about it. It’s all about the dynamics of a long term relationship, and how hard it can be to maintain honest and open lines of communication. It’s the work of former journalist Callum Murray, whose company We To Play is producing the show. I spoke to him to find out more.
Rex Ryan: Men’s Business

1 month ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

Opening at Finborough Theatre this week is ‘Men’s Business’, a translation by Simon Stephens of Franz Xaver Kroetz’s 1970s work ‘Männersache’. It’s being brought to London by highly acclaimed Irish theatre company Glass Mask Theatre, and it sounds amazing. Rex Ryan, Glass Mask’s Creative Director, appears in the show alongside Lauren Farrell, and the play is directed by Ross Gaynor. I arranged a quick chat with Rex to find out more. CM: Can you start by telling us about the content of the play?
Hannah Platt: Defence Mechanism

1 month ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

When Hannah Platt took her debut comedy hour to edfringe last summer, we included it in our Three To See tips for promising Festival first timers. And, as it turned out, our confidence in her was very well founded, as she won many fans and a plethora of excellent reviews. Platt’s first full length show is a highly considered work, focusing on her own struggle with body dysmorphia, and I was really keen to find out more about the set and how it came together.
Annelise Bianchini and Aaron Vodovoz: Down The Road

1 month ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

Opening this week over in E8 is American Theatre Of London’s staging of US playwright Lee Blessing’s 1989 work ‘Down The Road’. It’s an intriguing play, which details two journalists’ interactions with a serial killer, and questions the ethics of publicising stories of violence and murder. Plus, it’s also interesting that the show is on at James Alexandrou and Avital Lvova’s new creative hub Playhouse East, a venue I’ve yet to explore.
Sabrina Mahfouz: Argos Archives

There’s a show starting this week at the Omnibus Theatre that really called out to me when I heard about it, and that’s because I’m always interested in stuff by, about or for neurodivergent people, not least because I spend a lot of time around neurodivergent people. Plus, this show, produced by Futures Theatre, has been written by acclaimed poet, performer, playwright and producer Sabrina Mahfouz in collaboration with Thrive Creatives, a group of young autistic women.
Judi Bevan: Too Many Books

2 months ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

Coming up this week at Upstairs At The Gatehouse is the opening night of ‘Too Many Books’, a play that tells a story set in the 1990s about adopting a child from overseas. It’s a first play by award winning journalist Judi Bevan, better known for her business journalism and books, and is inspired by her own experiences of adoption. It’s not something I know a lot about, and I was interested in what the play might have to say about adoption and the politics surrounding it.
Bruce Langley: Outlying Islands

2 months ago | thisweekculture.com | Caro Moses

You might already be aware that there’s a production of David Greig’s ‘Outlying Islands’ on at Jermyn Street Theatre at the moment, not least because we recently tipped it ahead of the start of the run. The play was first performed more than 20 years ago, which makes me feel rather old, and that made me think that perhaps not all our readers are entirely familiar with this brilliant work.
