West End shows

With thanks to my fellow blogger West End Wilma, here are details of upcoming West End shows:

Much Ado About Nothing
12th – 23rd November

Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory(stf) return to Wilton’s in their 20th anniversary year, with Shakespeare’s riotous comedy about finding yourself and your happiness.

Home from war, a group of soldiers attempt to put their fighting days behind them. But how easy is it to adjust to civilian life, especially when romance is thrown into the mix?

★★★★ ‘Shakespeare's sharp-tongued comedy charms the audience’ WhatsOnStage

★★★★ ‘Fresh, radical and quite hilarious’The Reviews Hub
★★★★★ ‘Truly believable characters that are able to leave us in awe at the magical power of the language’Stage Talk Magazine

Sink the Pink presents
Escape From Planet Trash
19th November - 22nd December at the Pleasance Theatre

It's 2050 and in a galaxy not too far from our own, Planet Trash is the most dangerous place in the solar system - the dumping ground for the universe.

As the countdown to Christmas begins, the planet faces a new danger, an impending solar flare that threatens to obliterate Planet Trash, and a discarded weapon the Intergalactic Government is desperate to retrieve. All that stands between Planet Trash and complete annihilation is a crack team of unlikely queer space explorers, and Ginger Johnson, the last remaining resident of the doomed planet, who is refusing to return home.

Can they escape the planet before it explodes, can they find the weapon and disarm it, and will they make it home for Christmas?

In their own distinct style, Sink The Pink and Ginger Johnson return to Pleasance Islington for five weeks of queer, campy, Christmas fun. Featuring drag queens, comedy, aliens, giant space spiders, and a live score, Planet Trash is destined to become this year's Christmas must-see!
