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


From 2nd November

A Place at the Table @ Camden People's Theatre
Remembering and questioning the events that have unfolded in Africa in recent years, this play invites the audience to take a seat at the table, eat, drink and discuss.

All week
Speechless @ Arcola Theatre
Based on the true story of Jennifer and June Gibbons, Speechless looks at the sisters who refused to speak to anyone other than immediate family. They became writers, criminals and wound up in Broadmoor for 14 years. 

All week
Skane @ Hampstead Theatre
Pamela Carter pulls apart relationships in this taut look at adultery and whether staying for the kids is really a good idea.
