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


All Week 

Faith, Hope and Charity @ Southwark Playhouse 
A dark story abut a sales-woman's fight with the state. Flecks of comedy set Ödön von Horváth's novel apart and in this adaptation by the award-winning Christopher Hampton, the struggle of a nation is highlighted against the pettiness of a pre-war state. 


From Thursday 30th July 

Little Black Bastard @ Rich Mix
Noel Tovey grew up in 1940s Australia as a black, gay impoverished kid. At part of Origins Festival, he presents the emotional story of his childhood.
