What’s On This Weekend: Legend Trippers, Her Majesty’s Cavalry & Beyond The Road

Legend Trippers in Victoria

For over 40 years the award-winning National Youth Music Theatre has represented the very best in work with young people in musical theatre, leading Andrew Lloyd Webber to describe it as “the best youth music theatre in the world”. Commissioned by them this weekend, a new musical comes to the Other Palace Theatre about legends we are passing on today, and how we might benefit others by questioning them. What do a cheerleader, a science geek, a sports jock and a hard-core emo all have in common? They’re all members of the Legend Trippers – a group of unlikely high school heroes who band together to conquer their town’s most haunted spots and sites. Only a short journey from our Westminster office and are interested in looking at properties to rent or properties to buy in the area, feel free to drop in and say hello to our team who would be happy to help.

This Is Black Festival in London Bridge

This Is Black is a festival of world premiere theatre shows by four, new, exciting Black writers taking place at The Bunker Theatre. The festival will explore identity, hate crime and family relationships with alternating double bills by Abraham Adeyemi, Macadie Amoroso, Chantelle Alle & Melissa Saint and Ronke Adékoluejo as well as an exhibition curated by Sophia Tassew. This will feature work by Amaal Mohamed, Sharon Adebisi and Taja Boodie who have responded to “What does it mean to be Black in the UK? Past, present and future.” As well as the plays and the exhibition, there will also be DJ sets after performances on Fridays and Saturdays going on late into the night. This festival aims to support, encourage and celebrate Black artists, and to provide a supportive fringe-like experience that existing fringe platforms do not always successfully provide to Black artists.
