September shows not to be missed ...
THREE SHOTS by John Marquez at White Bear Theatre, Kennington 1 - 12 September
Three Shots is a new black comedy by John Marquez (Doc Martin). Bringing together a stellar cast from screen and stage, Marquez performs alongside Martin Marquez (Hotel Babylon) and Emmy Award-winner Lucy Cohu (Broadchurch). Set by the A46 near Coventry, this witty play explores masculinity, isolation, and the desire to escape.
ANNIE WOBBLER (Revisited) by Arnold Wesker at Finborough Theatre 2 - 26 September
45th Anniversary production
In three short plays, Nicola McAuliffe’s tour de force performance presents us with three very different Annie’s:
Anna – a Gen Z graduate battling her anxiety…
Annabella – the fey hit novelist who becomes an uncompromising cougar…
Annie – a homeless geriatric revisiting her past late at night in a railway station.
Without natural or constructed beauty to smooth the way, each Annie constructs a mask to present to the world, confronting their ‘Imposter Syndrome’ with defiance, courage and, above all, humour…
DJ BAZZERS YEAR SIX DISCO at Bread and Roses Theatre, Clapham 8 - 12 September
The year 6 disco: Where kids become adults, enemies become friends and where the DJ has a nervous breakdown. Join Baz on a nostalgic blur of the early 2000s in an exploration of childhood dreams, the harsh realities of growing up and the toxicity of comparing ourselves to others.
HORATIO NELSON: Fever and Fire Written and performed by Adam Preston at Tabard Theatre, Chiswick 8 - 12 September
Back by popular demand following a sell-out run at the Tabard Theatre.
this powerful one-man show explores the life, loves and legacy of Britain's greatest naval hero. Drawing on extensive historical research, the play goes beyond the familiar legend to reveal the man behind the myth. From the loss of his mother in childhood and his early struggles at sea to his greatest victories and his passionate relationship with Emma Hamilton, Nelson's extraordinary story is brought vividly to life with wit, humanity and emotional depth.
WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS by Paul Kalburgi at White Bear Theatre, 15 September - 3 October
Haunted by the happy ending she never had, cinema usher and aspiring screenwriter Ginny must confront heartbreak—and Hollywood—as she tries to rebuild her life following the death of her fiancé. We'll Always Have Paris is a rebellious romcom about love, loss and starting over in your forties.
