Oedipussy

Rose Theatre, Kingston
15 October

Here is an ancient myth
that won’t stay shut,
a man who sees the future
but is blind with lust,
a woman's body half consumed 
with cat, and city walls
that are not high enough
to keep these horrors out.


Oedipussy runs at the Rose Theatre, Kingston, until 19 October

Macbeth


Little Angel Theatre
10 October

Terra-witches flap and flutter,
grey and gauzy wings aquiver;
where below the rooster struts, red–ruffed 
and beady-eyed, towards horror.
 


Macbeth runs at the Little Angel until 10 November

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

New Wimbledon Theatre
08 October

Now he's away again, up on the ridge,
where snow and rain and storm 
will hope to drive away all thoughts of women,

though at home, of course, a woman waits 
for him with heavy heart, and prays 
that he'll come home to her in spring.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is on tour until May 2014
