The Review - THEATRE
Published: 23 April 2009
 
In the Wings

CONFUSION abounds in the kingdom of Illyria for Shakespeare’s classic comedy of gender-switching and court politics, Twelfth Night. Audiences have just one more week to catch Harry Meacher’s ­production at the wonderful Pentameters Theatre in Hampstead, so get your yellow crossed garters – as favoured by the ­unfortunate Malvolio – in gear.
Until May 2. Box office: 020 7435 3648. Tickets £12, £10 concessions.

UNDER different ­circumstances you would be reading a review of A Place at the Table, the latest offering from the Camden ­People’s Theatre, on these pages today.
Unfortunately, technical difficulties stopped the show from going ahead on Tuesday night but the premise, in which spectators take a seat alongside the actors around a dinner table, sounds an intriguing one. Dinner party ­discussion revolves around the ongoing civil and political unrest in the African nation of Burundi. Until May 2.

SHADY pasts, ­disowned relatives and an overbearing matriarch are a surefire recipe for trouble in Jason Charles’s new play, Estranged. A study of “sexuality and conformity, family and desire... the life we have and the life we crave”, Estranged is at the Courtyard Theatre in Hoxton until May 3.

SUNDAYS are ­ooking up. In May and June, the King’s Head Theatre in Islington will present a double bill of comic plays about lost innocence. Life’s a Gas and Not Going Down, both by Anthony Bull, delve into the murky world of drag queens, strippers, and vulnerable bunny girls.
