Tate, Tennant and Verbatim Theatre: Editor's Choice - Theatre

13 May, 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 Monday 16th May 
Much Ado About Nothing @ Wyndhams Theatre 
David Tennant and Catherine Tate play a fiercely funny couple reluctantly in love in Shakespeare's classic. Sure to be a West End hit, I don't really have to persuade you to go see this do I?


From Tuesday 17th May

Antigone @ Southwark Playhouse
One of my favourite theatres in London is putting on a great play and bringing it right up to date to boot. Granted it's risky but you are promised some very moving drama. 


From Thursday 19th May

Do We Look Like Refugees? @ Riverside Studios
True stories from the displaced people of South Ossetia come to us via the great verbatim playwright Alecky Blythe whose latest work, London Road is currently at National Theatre. Uniquely, this production gives the audience a chance to listen to the words, the coughs, and the stutters of the refugees through headphones with no room for the actors to exaggerate.
