The Review - THEATRE
Published: 25 September 2008

In the wings

• YOU are cordially invited to the weekend from hell as Noel Coward’s comedy of diabolically bad manners returns to Camden.
The Bliss family have invited various guests to stay, without informing each other. Stinging witticisms abound in this Tower Theatre Company production, at the Theatro Technis from October 8-11; then from October 14-18.

• THEATRE-makers from across the globe come together over the next three days for “agitation, propaganda, dissent, and revolution”.
Acts of Resistance at the Soho Theatre will explore how performance can change the world through workshops and discussions with Hollywood director Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) and Derik Ngubangu, artistic director of Kwoto Cultural Centre. From September 25-27. Details at www. sohotheatre.com

• MONEY: the stuff that makes the world go round, but can it buy the things that really matter? Bernard Shaw’s satirical 1930s comedy The Millionairess takes a mocking look at the glamour of wealth and the false comfort it brings. It’s the last chance to catch the revival at Pentameters Theatre, which finishes September 28.

• BEST foot forward for Wen-Cheng Yen, Alan Ramsay, and Ms M Livingstone – each win a pair of top tickets to witness the international phenomenon that is Flamenco Flamen’ka. The Latin dance extravaganza is at the
Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, for seven more weeks.
