Sleeping Rough: A Duo of Duologues
Jacaranda Theatre
These look good. It sounds depressing – because God knows, homelessness is – but this pair of plays claim to be funny as well as visceral and “violently poetic”. Jacaranda Theatre are an Australian company who’ve garnered reviews brimming with acclaim, and plaudits from homeless charity Crisis with regard to this particular show, which they describe as “an emotive project that will bring the issue of homelessness alive for people”.

Total
Squaremoon Ltd
Always like to nominate a show in an interesting venue for your viewing consideration, and this would appear to be one. Total is set to take place at the Old Police Cells & Museum, which will no doubt prove a bit spooky…? Don’t know, I’ve never been. But it sounds like an appropriate sort of a location for this new play, described as a haunting and lyrical drama.
Old Police Cells & Museum, 6–10 May, 6.45pm (7:30pm) and 8:00pm (8:45pm), £7.00 (£5.00), fpp 46
The Haunted Moustache
Other Place Productions
Crazy name, crazy show. Well, I don’t know that. All I know is that it definitely has a crazy name, and I always like to take a chance on at least one crazily-named show when attending any major UK arts festival. I might even, at some point, be moved to take a chance on a crazily named show elsewhere in the world; who knows? Anyway, this crazily-named show is taking place in Brighton this year, so all you chaps have a chance to go see it. It sounds fun and apparently includes themes involving freak shows and the occult. In all honesty, what could possibly go wrong there?
Upstairs at Three & Ten, 5,10,11,18 May, times vary, £9.00 (£7.00), fpp 45
