Last night I travelled via the Overground Line to Kentish Town, to see The Giant Olive Theatre at the Lion & Unicorn. Hidden in a leafy wide street, the pub is an absolute delight offering a selection of standard gastro-pub fair and some nice wines. The theatre itself is a decent size with comfortable loose seating for about 60 people, I would guess. From a production POV as with most theatres of this sort, there is only one entrance to the stage.
I was planning on seeing Beauty Is Prison-Time, written and performed by Zoe Mavroudi but I was also invited to attend the opening night of the play beforehand - I'll Show You Mine. Both plays were of a particularly high calibre and Mavroudi is well worthy of her nomination for Best Actress.
Next week I am back at the venue seeing Nine - not the musical, I hasten to add - but another one-woman show, which has also been nominated for an Offie.
