Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Naima Khan selects her top three plays.


From 24th October

Etiquette of Grief @ Camden People's Theatre
In her one-woman-show, Ellie Harrison takes us through the contemporary ways we deal with grief, from mourning celebrities to playing a soundtrack of people talking at a wake at to avoid any awkward silences.

From 25th October
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea @ Southwark Playhouse
After a great turn in Blue Surge, Clare Latham takes up the role of traumatised misfit Roberta who stumbles across the complicated Danny in John Partick Shanley's darkly romantic two-hander which comes to Southwark Playhouse in the capable hands of director Che Walker.

 Tuesday 25th October
John Peel's Shed @ Jackson's Land Theatre
Back when radio DJs actually had a hand in what was played on their shows, a box of records from John Peel's shed was given away in a competition. It took the winner, John Osborne, eight years to listen to them all and in his one man show, he shares his Peel fanaticism and the nostalgia that comes with a box full of music.
