A Brothel of Shows - Editor's Choice: Theatre

A Brothel of Shows - Editor's Choice: Theatre

01 July, 2011
by: Naima Khan

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


From Tuesday 5th July 
Circus Britannica @ Theatre503 
Part of Theatre 503's LabFest season, Shaun McCarthy's play looks at immigration and xenophobia. Set in a circus, the play combines impressive physical theatre and sharp writing. 

From Wednesday 6th July
Greyscale's Theatre Brothel @ Almeida Theatre
Pushing the way we experience theatre, Greyscale are offering their audience a lot more choice, or maybe that should read chance. Either way it looks brilliant. You get to tell the company just what you like in a theatre show and they'll select the shows on offer that best suit your tastes. 

From Friday 8th July
For Once @ Hampstead Theatre
This new play by Tim Price looks at the aftermath of a community tragedy that destroys families in a picture perfect town. Set in a claustrophobic place where everyone knows each other, there's no escaping what happened.
